Advice on *A travel from London to TLV
My family is traveling from London to Tel-Aviv next summer and thinking of using a *A carrier (even with connection) to leverage *Gold benefits. Choice between A3 or TK. Also considering Easyjet nonstop although not pleased with the lack of recline, fees, etc. Any input would be appreciated.

I have flown TK and Easyjet extensively on this route. Both are fine. The TK food is quite good and the lounge at IST is a real spectacle and has great food. However, for political reasons due to president Erdogan's behavior, I won't fly TK anymore. I think Easyjet is just fine and fly this route a few times a year. I find LGW to be better than LTN for a lot of reasons on Easyjet. Unless TK is much much cheaper, I'd suggest Easyjet.

Travel via ZRH and get a flat bed on Swiss in C on an A330 or A340 - And if your a Senator a free upgrade to F upon request in ZRH - C service F seat and book it on an A330! Go Swiss everytime!!!!!!!!!!! Why schlepp on LH or another Star Alliance Carrier
