What's wrong with TK? they are one of the best airlines for Israelis, prices are competitive in J, they have the best schedule apart from LY, best J lounge in the world, very good food and domestic F seats on most of the medium haul fleet. Not to mention that they have one of the most extensive route maps.

I'm not too informed with this issue or with Israeli politics for that matter so please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the reason LY and other Israeli carriers no longer fly to Turkey is because the Israeli government requires a ridiculous list of security measures and the Turkish authorities aren't playing along with the Israeli shenanigans?

Unfortunately, yes. AA and AM used to be FFP partners of LY too, but not anymore.

Quick bump of this thread if anyone has any immediate thoughts on this question:
Is it better for a US-based flyer who wants to earn a few miles from an LY trip but who won't use LY that often to credit to SAA Voyager or Qantas? Which program has the better ways of extending miles that would otherwise expire?
