TAP AIR PORTUGAL, Lufthansa, American Airlines and British Airways are some of the major airlines operating along this route, with layovers at MUC, LHR, LIS, YYZ and FRA airports.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Israel

  • Morning departure is around 16% more expensive than an evening flight, on average*.
  • There are three international airports that act as your arrival airports in the stunning nation of Israel. Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV), Ovda International Airport (OVD), and Eilat International Airport (ETH) are some of them. These airports are all used for international travel. However, we advise traveling to the airport that is the closest to your final destination.
  • If you arrive early and have some free time before your flight, check out one of the many lounges at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). These sofas are built with comfort and relaxation in mind. Passengers can relax away from the terminal's noise as they wait for their aircraft. There are numerous lounges, including the American Airlines Admirals Club, Delta Sky Club, Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, Centurion Lounge, Alaska Airlines Lounge, and USO Lounge.
  • You are free to leave your car at the airport's parking lots for the duration of your journey at SFO. They offer you a variety of safe and convenient parking options. Because there is often a wait for parking at the airport, call and make reservations before your departure date.
  • For travelers with limited mobility, the airports in Israel have the best accessibility. The airport offers wheelchairs for use throughout the terminal, and the check-in area and arrivals halls both have accessible toilets. For more information, speak with your airline.
  • Passengers arriving at any of the airports in Israel have a wide range of transportation alternatives. However, think about hiring a car hassle-free if you want to go around Israel. You can rent a car at the airport from Enterprise, Hertz, Europcar, Sixt, Avis, and Budget.

Very old plane, small, no screens, no charging ports. It was 4 hour of pain! I would not recommend this flight, not to mention that it costed $800, which is a total ripoff. Don't recommend!

Very old plane, small, no screens, no charging ports. It was 4 hour of pain! I would not recommend this flight, not to mention that it costed $800, which is a total ripoff. Don't recommend!

Poor food. No seats screens only WiFi and not text messages. No in flight information for the flight . Took off one hour late.

The check in was very slow and we had to wait more than half an hour at the reception ! No priority for Platinum passengers

Non responsive and affable flight attendants. Preordered fruit dish delivered “by mistake” to a different passenger!

It was a good flight arrived on time with great crew and tasty food.(Business class)

The plain was 1 hour late. The drinking cup are ridiculously small

My El Al flight was awful - very uncomfortable seats, like short-haul Spirit Airlines not good for a 15-hour flight. My aisle seat stuck out into the aisle so was constantly banged into by flight attendant-driven carts - no apologies given at any time- and people waiting to use the toilet. Flight attendants literally yelling at passengers to sit down a half hour before landing - a lot of yelling in general. Especially unwelcome at 3am.

Everything was good, but there was a delay of about an hour

I liked it as a half empty flight, I didn't like to wait 5 hours to fly which wasn't my fault.

Food was horrible! Inedible sandwiches by a supposed star chef, Assaf Granit. I was dead hungry the entire flight but couldn't possibly stuff that awful sandwich down my throat,

I did not get my baggage at my final destination..poor coordination with connecting flights with partner airlines (Saudi airways). Also the food was very mediocre.

Not great , just ok . I expected better food but it did not deliver . Flight staff was ok . The guy at the drop off bag counter was the only saving grace in this whole trip . He was pleasant, friendly and very helpful . You couldn’t ask for a better assistance from him .

There was 2 hours delay before boarding and 2 hours delay after boarding while waiting in the plane

Very good crew. Food service above average. Seats very small for a 12 hours flight.

Boarding was a disaster being moved by Air France by bus to the plane. The plane should have been at the right gate.

They lost my baggage and I still have not got it back. Disgrace

Extremely poor. First - and oddly enough, Air France denied access to the Business Class lounge at CDG to all of us - although we were all flying Business Class. It is amazing that an airline denies lounge access to its passengers flying on business and paying several thousand dollars each ticket. Second, the food on Business Class on absolutely horrible. Air France must have made an effort to prepare bad tasting dishes (not even the ice cream was good). Third, the cabin temperature was too hot and although we complained many times, it never got cooler.

A disaster. Air France is a real joke. They overcharge us customers for absolutely nothing. Service was very poor, food was mediocre, entertainment non existent, etc. We paid thousands of dollars for our business class tickets and then we were told in Paris we could not access its lounge. Really Air France ? Congratulations on irritating your customers to the sky high level and ensuring we will do everything in our power to discourage others to travel with you.

They again did not offer any functioning WiFi in the transatlantic crossing.

The first half from DC to Paris was very good and the staff were very helpful and humble BUT flight from Paris to Mumbai was sad. 1) it was packed. 2) no space on head compartment 3) crews were unresponsive to the calls 4) one crew member literally banged the bottle of water after giving me glass of water. A little water splashed on me and she was unapologetic 5) with so many hours of flight, little leg space should be taken care else don’t fill your airline till brim which affects your crew and they remove anger on us. 6) huge line for washrooms. 7) 2nd half journey was pathetic
