in TLV you get to use the Dan lounge when you're in BF. Its quite nice. If you're not connecting to anywhere else in the US, I doubt they are restricting liquids on TLV-EWR, so I recommend buying 4 bottles of Castel Grand Vin or Margalit or Yatir, if they're still doing buy 3 get one free at the duty free in TLV, they are all fantastic. I also recommend, if you like Diet Coke, to swipe a bunch of glass bottled diet coke from the Dan lounge. it tastes better than US DC.
Great advice for my upcoming trip, thanks entropy!
Little known fact: Coke Zero is the same formula as Diet Coke in Europe and Israel. It's essentially Coke Classic with artificial sweetener, while the US version of Diet Coke is "New Coke" with artificial sweetener. (The New Coke formula was actually created for Diet Coke originally...it proved so popular they figured it would work for regular Coke...you know how that went.)
