FAQs - booking Israel flights

  • Are there direct flights from San Francisco to Israel?

    It is unlikely to find direct flights operating between San Francisco and Israel as this is a lengthy trip. However, there are several airlines offering one-stop connecting flight services which are suitable for passengers who are in rush. 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. But if you want to save some cash, you can opt for two-stop option flights, which generally add at least 2h to your overall travel time.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Israel

  • Book at least 1 week before departure in order to get a below-average price.
  • High season is considered to be January, November and December. The cheapest month to fly from San Francisco is November.
  • Morning departure is around 1% 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.

Check-in was quick and boarded plane on time. Seats were comfortable, large screen entertainment, slept almost entire flight. Staff was pleasant. What is great about ELAL is their safety, and ability to take a large carrey on trolley and no one cares about size or weight. No one is taken out of line because of excess hand luggage like they do on Wiz or RYANAIR.

My suitcase was severely damaged. I didn't realize the degree until after I exited the luggage area. I submitted an online form and was informed it might be a few weeks until someone got back to me. Ridiculous. I have to return to the USA with it?!

2 hours on the tarmac then another 20 minutes at the gate make for a poor experience

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.

I wish that the meal included a vegetable or even a salad instead of couscous! Why serve chicken with rice AND couscous? Service was good overall though a bit lacking in friendliness. Usually on air france I've been offered a glass of champagne before dinner, wine with dinner, and a digestif after dinner. We were only offered wine this time!

It was not Air France but Air Europa. But confusion over our checked luggage. Whether it was checked all the way to Tenerife or not. It was not. Had to line up again in Departures. At least our Sky Priority was honoured. Flight was fine.

My wife and I had a row to ourselves after moving seats. There were no TVs and you had to buy food. So we did nothing but had a quick nap. Flight was fine.

The male attended that served are section was a snob. He did not answer my call light when my wine spilled all over the floor. I did not push it again or drew his attention to it. He just ignored the call light when he came to give us our meal, serving the people behind us first. I did not push it again or drew his attention to it to see his reaction. It was so obvious that he was ignoring us. We were in premium economy!

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 a good one this time. The absence of internet without any information/notification ahead was really the unacceptable part. Also this new A350-900 has a serious legroom challenge for economy seats. It’s more like a medium-haul flight legroom configuration.

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.

AWFUL. I have had the experience of traveling with many airlines across the world, and hands down United Airlines is the worst. Not one flight was on time, and I don’t think I met one crew member or staff member who wasn’t rude.

For an 8.5 hour flight the service on board lacked a bit. Service start was slow, the food was worse than usual and they skipped the snack they were supposed to deliver before landing.

Wish movie and music choices changed more often. Mostly same from a month or two ago when I last flew.

It was good. Just that the seats could not be reclined. The people behind were not ready to let the chairs be reclined

Checkin was painful and slow! Lady didn’t seem to know what was going on and couldn’t explain the delay. Seemed ahe couldnt see the computer scree and we couldn’t hear her talk through her mask.

Plane left & arrived early- 5 Crew great. Wi fi - paid for 2, only 1 worked - so so. Waste of $. Coolie was good

There was no USB plug in my section of the plane. So I could not charge my phone. Also, there was no screen to watch movie or anything like that. Wish I had known that in advance, I would’ve brought my iPad.

Made all groups except 2 check despite ample bin space. Inflight WiFi and entertainment didn’t work most of the time.

Not enough room between rows and food was gross. $160 baggage charge?! Never again.

Waited for our plane from HNL so we didn't miss connection. AMAZING Service for that, then really clean plane. Nice airline attendants.
