I'm not sure. I think it depends on the times you like to fly. It is great to leave Israel at midnight and arrive in NYC without any wasted time, all in one go. You just can't do that with BA. Even if you take an afternoon flight on BA from TLV-LHR you can't get the last flight from LHR-NYC. Take a morning flight and all the day is gone. However, we found it a more relaxing journey and were less jet-lagged on arrival. Horses for courses?
