I also would not want to spend any time in KRT or the area, so want to do a same-day TWOV. Checking EF I see a number of options, including FRA-KRT (I use EF's +/- 3 days to see flight possibilities that aren't every day).
My plan is to leave all my bags in LHR or FRA or some place, go to KRT to start the trip, then go back to retrieve everything. I'll need a duplicate passport (without TLV stamps) but hope there won't be any issue with transit (as opposed to entry visa) using a U.S. passport.

This was said without any questions from me or without any prompting. As soon as I said "KRT", the agent put me on hold and then came back shortly with the above statement.
so for anyone on the fence, i suggested do it ealier rather than later.
Yikes! I've already ticketed my 2013 DONE4 with some painful upgrades so I don't want to junk it. I want to do a 2014 ex-KRT AONE4 but of course that can't be booked until Feb 1, unless I waste some of the segments by flying in 2013, when I won't need them.

Can I end in TLV?
