Air Canada is set to resume flights to Israel starting in November, a move expected to bring significant relief to travelers heading to North America. The airline is offering competitive prices, particularly when compared to the high fares Israelis have become accustomed to over the past year. A recent price comparison conducted by ice for January travel to New York highlights these potential savings.
An Air Canada flight to New York, involving a brief layover in Canada, was found priced at $773. This indirect route offers a notable discount compared to direct flights. For instance, a direct Delta flight to New York was priced at $887. The price difference becomes even more pronounced when compared to Israeli carriers.
Direct flights with Israir were priced at $1072, while El Al offered a direct flight for $1108. Among the four options examined, Air Canada presented the lowest fare, though it requires a stopover in Canada. For travelers prioritizing non-stop journeys, Delta emerged as the most affordable direct option.
The return of Air Canada in November provides Israeli passengers with an additional choice for reaching North America. The price analysis for January underscores the potential cost savings, with Air Canada at $773, Delta at $887, Israir at $1072, and El Al at $1108. After a period of elevated airfares, Air Canada's reentry into the Israeli market, coupled with its competitive pricing, may reintroduce a viable option for those willing to accept a short layover in Canada en route to New York.
