Due to security concerns, passengers will only be allowed to carry on hand luggage, such as a trolley, and departing planes from Israel will fly without passengers. El Al will operate two initial flights priced at $249 for a LITE ticket. The first flight (LY974) departs Tel Aviv in the morning and returns from Dubai at 11:00 AM, with a second flight (LY972) departing Dubai at 1:00 PM. El Al stated that tickets are available on their website and through travel agents, and that flight operations may change based on security directives. The airline committed to increasing flight schedules to help more Israelis return home safely.
