Arkia Airlines is launching a flash sale offering a 50% discount on all flights during the intermediate days of Sukkot, from 11 PM on Tuesday to 8 AM on Wednesday. The promotion excludes long-haul destinations but includes popular European cities such as Montenegro, London, Amsterdam, various Greek islands, and Budapest, with hundreds of tickets available.
This is not the first time Arkia has offered such a significant discount. Previously, on June 24, the airline provided a 50% price reduction on a range of destinations. However, the company has faced technical challenges during past sales; in late 2024, its website crashed for three hours when a 25% discount was offered for 25 hours.
For travelers not planning to fly during the holiday, a separate analysis by lastminute.co.il indicates that flight prices are expected to drop significantly after the holidays across all airlines. The study compared average round-trip flight costs for 15 destinations during the Sukkot period (September to October 4) versus the period after the holidays (October 5-31).
The sharpest price decrease was observed for flights to Rome, with an average round-trip fare dropping by 74%, from $620 to $160. Budapest saw a 71% decrease (from $565 to $164), Athens 64% (from $385 to $137), Catania 62% (from $670 to $256), and Tbilisi 60% (from $615 to $247). Even long-haul destinations like Tokyo, Seoul, and Hanoi are projected to have substantial price reductions after the holidays.
