The competition for Israeli travelers flying to New York is intensifying, with airlines offering significantly different prices for flights in February. Israir, owned by Rami Levy, launched a promotion offering flights to New York for $909 to holders of the Super Fly club credit card, valid until the end of March. A comparison of flight prices for various dates in February revealed that Delta offered the lowest price at $891 for two different date ranges. Israir's promotional price of $909 is competitive for cardholders, but rises to $1,299 for those without the card. El Al offered flights for $1,029, United for $1,207 and $1,058, and Arkia for $1,419 and $958 on different dates. The price differences can amount to hundreds of dollars, highlighting the close competition on the route. Travelers are advised to check ticket conditions, included baggage, and additional costs before purchasing to ensure a fair comparison between offers, as prices can fluctuate based on availability and booking time.
