Last-Minute Holiday Flights to Europe Available at Discounted Prices

Israeli travelers seeking last-minute flights for the upcoming Jewish High Holidays can still find affordable options, particularly to destinations in Cyprus and Greece, with prices starting as low as $64 for flights to Larnaca. Other European destinations like Italy, Albania, and Hungary also present surprisingly low fares.

Travel industry experts emphasize that flexibility is key for securing these deals. Adjusting travel dates by even a few days, opting for different flight times, or considering alternative destinations can significantly expand choices and reduce costs. "Even a few days before Rosh Hashanah, it is still possible to find good options for a vacation abroad," stated Tamar Garzon, CEO of Gulliver.

Demand remains high for Greek islands and Cyprus, which have been popular since spring. The early timing of this year's holidays benefits travelers, as the weather in these regions is still excellent, and the end of the European tourist season is lowering accommodation prices. Dubai is also seeing increased interest as its tourist season begins.

Package deals are available for various destinations. For example, a two-night trip to Athens from September 11-13, including a 4-star hotel with breakfast and Arkia flights, costs $488 per person. A similar package to Rhodes is priced at $547, while a five-star hotel in Batumi, Georgia, with flights, is $621. Other offers include a 3-night half-board stay in Crete starting at $499, a 3-night stay in Montenegro starting at $589, and a 3-night Dubai package with a water park starting at $659.

Direct flight searches reveal options such as $85 flights to Larnaca for Rosh Hashanah, and up to $150 for flights to Rhodes, Athens, Paphos, Crete, and Palermo. After Rosh Hashanah, flights to Larnaca can be found for as low as $64. Quvi Holidays offers round-trip flights starting from €128 to Paphos and Rhodes, €131 to Larnaca, and €166 to Crete.
