Turkish Air… are you crazy!!! You want them to harrass you!?!?

Can you book it one way?
10
March 2nd, 2013 at 10:33 pm
Orbitz has it as well
11
March 2nd, 2013 at 10:42 pm
Any answer for the 1 way Q ?

Here’s the obvious question: is it safe for a frum Jew to travel with his family through Istanbul?
14
March 2nd, 2013 at 11:39 pm
Don’t support the Turks
15
March 3rd, 2013 at 12:07 am
I have a resume of having flown 14+ airlines (I’m not sure the exact number) and so far the best service I have received was with turkish. Don’t worry about any extra security screenings.
16
March 3rd, 2013 at 12:31 am
Kosher food?
17
March 3rd, 2013 at 1:22 am
Answer to the one way q would be, to just book this as a return, and abandon the return segment, as this is still cheap for a one way!
18
March 3rd, 2013 at 1:22 am
Dan, I was approved for the Consumer Plus Southwest card. Which card do I apply for next for the 2nd account? Do I do it online? And finally, how do I link the RR# to both accounts?
Thanks!

I found the flights. It’s a great deal, if you are flying after Passover. Any flights surrounding Passover are in the 1300-1400 dollar range. They might be turkeys, but they’re not stupid.
20
March 3rd, 2013 at 2:09 am
I checked it (04/03-04/22), only one way is 600$
a round trip is twice the price!
21
March 3rd, 2013 at 2:50 am
dan thanks for finding a tlv-jfk deal!
i’ve flown turkish and stayed in turkey overnight w/no issues.
22
March 3rd, 2013 at 3:06 am
Its worth booking it as a 2 way and dropping the second flight, all other 1 ways are over $800.
23
March 3rd, 2013 at 3:07 am
It CANNOT be booked as a 1 way, however its worth booking it as a 2 way and dropping the return flight as all 1 ways are over $800 now.
24
March 3rd, 2013 at 5:12 am
Want to buy the ticket from Tel Aviv to New York at $ 601 with Turkish.
How can I talk to you?
25
March 3rd, 2013 at 6:01 am
I have traveled with turkish to tlv and had only great experiances go for it.
26
March 3rd, 2013 at 6:59 am
@dan Are there any dates that cover Pesach? I couldnt find any.
27
March 3rd, 2013 at 8:03 am
The Istanbul airport is such a trip. It’s like the crossroads of the world. I swear I saw Avraham Aveinu there carrying a laptop.
28
March 3rd, 2013 at 10:43 am
Not only is Turkish airlines a great and comfortable airline they’re also extremely accommodating . I had a stop over over night and the airlines holds on to your luggage so you don’t need to check in your bags again, and sets you up in a 4 star hotel for FREE shuttle service included . I never had a better stop over.

March 3rd, 2013 at 10:54 am
kosher food on turkish is very good, no problems for frum jews at all in the airport.

33
March 3rd, 2013 at 1:52 pm

35
March 3rd, 2013 at 3:32 pm
Through Priceline coming up at $801- any recommendations?
36
March 3rd, 2013 at 5:36 pm
WHy are so many people responding that it’s safe to travel through Turkey???
37
March 3rd, 2013 at 10:38 pm
under the current circumstances i would not fly in to Turkey…. a couple of years ago i would have flown in to turkey. but not today …
38
March 3rd, 2013 at 10:41 pm
There is a difference between entering Turkey and just flying through the airport.

43
March 4th, 2013 at 10:43 am
be advised if your traveling on an israeli passport you may be in for rough treatmnet as they arent so pleased with israel these days as well orthodox looking jews be forwarned the country is now very pro muslim anti israel=jewish
as a travel agent i advise against flying with turkish airlines
my clients who were rerooted (when delta had engine issues oldest fleet of planes flying to tel aviv) thru turkey on a delta ticket felt very uncomfortable when davening scharis with talis/teflin in airport terminal felt the whole airports eyes stearing at them
price is right but not worth risking your life to save a few hundred dollars
44
March 4th, 2013 at 11:27 am
Just tried booking but the price was $1k+, is this deal still available?
45
March 4th, 2013 at 12:02 pm

Thanks Dan

March 4th, 2013 at 3:53 pm
Hi Dan, just went into the prili e website and the round trip looks like it’s 800$ how do I order the 601$ deal? Thanx!
50
March 4th, 2013 at 5:27 pm
umm- do turkish pilots know how to fly? do they take breaks and kneel on the floor to mecca while over the atlantic?
i mean -is this like shoprite brand pilots?
51
March 4th, 2013 at 5:33 pm
@travel agent:
I’ve flown them with an Israeli passport. Was a better flight that on the us airlines.
Your exaggeration (life in danger) is just ridiculous.
52
March 4th, 2013 at 6:02 pm
just got tickets late april to late may for $590 at the Turkish air site. payment is due 3/8.
53
March 4th, 2013 at 10:56 pm
@travel agent: don’t blow things up. It’s a great travel experience and much better than any other airline. keep it up ! DAN’S THE MAN!
54
March 5th, 2013 at 1:33 pm
flown
DAN isnt vouching for anyones life or safety he’s just advising you of a great deal. btw doubt if dan flew thru turkey during the past 2 years
where is ive had clients come back and tell me of their experience which i feel people should be aware of before commiting to a deal if after knowing all the facts they go ahead great
personally i spent double points to fly back on UA jan 02 2013 from tlv where i had great flts thru turkey for 1/2 the points but didnt feel comfortable knowing the political climate etc
your right 99.9% will be safe if not a bit uncomfortable but for the .01% …. well leave the rest unwritten
55
March 5th, 2013 at 5:57 pm
If you book on Orbitz is it cancelable until 11:30 next day?
