Stop over in tel aviv
guys - im hoping to use el al to fly JFK-TLV and then TLV-BOM but some of the prices I'm seeing in coach are ultra-expensive. Looks like the best prices their website is provding is for round-trip and not a 3-4 day stop over which I need to break my journey into mumbai and of course enjoy tel aviv in november. Is there some other website I should be using?
Thx

Try pricing two return tickets. JFK-TLV-JFK & TLV-BOM-TLV but be sure to leave enough buffer for the return to avoid complications. Any reason you want to fly LY?

Would two separate itineraries work better? As per Yoshi's advice above, but on two different carriers: least expensive JFK/EWR-TLV return (assuming some of the American carriers will be cheaper than El Al), then least expensive TLV-India return (El Al or Air India).

LY and TLV are not built for this. You will pay a lot more money and will be harassed by security. Make your connection in DXB.

On the other hand: OP, you are concerned about the price. What is more important for you? If budget is more important than enjoying Tel Aviv, you may want to look into WOW's new route:
