Going to NY this week on short notice. All flights were in the $2000 range. Looked on Kayak and then booked on Turkish Airlines for under $1200. Flight is very convenient – leaves at 530a and arrives in NY 2p. Return 4p (next day). 2 hours in Istanbul. I did the booking on Turkish website – so it will be easier to change if I need to.
Olympic has an even lower fare, but the schedule is worse.
Turkey and Greece were the cradles of Western Civilization when the Normans, Gauls, Saxons and Goths were clubbing each other on the head – so why pay $2000 to go on their airplanes!

A friend recently was faced with the same dilema with the expensive prices for non-stop travel from TLV to NYC. The travel agent then suggested to use Austrian Airlines that gave a fare of around $1,300. He told me that the trip to JFK through Vienna was very good, lots of space in couch, and even the travel with the two year old son was pleasent.
