As the European Christmas season approaches, airlines and travel agencies are launching their winter holiday campaigns. Many Israelis are planning to travel after the upcoming elections to exercise their right to vote. This year, destinations in Eastern Europe, as well as closer locales like Greece and Cyprus, are seeing increased interest, alongside more distant options.

Israir is offering flights to Budapest, Batumi, and Varna for $99 one-way, and to Berlin, Munich, Baku, and Madrid for $129 one-way. Arkia has round-trip flights to Rome for $262, Barcelona for $312, and Paris for $400. Roni Roza, Marketing Manager at Arkia, noted that for those seeking to escape the winter, the Far East, including Thailand and Vietnam, is experiencing peak season and presents an excellent opportunity for an exotic vacation.

Tali Noy, VP of Strategy and Marketing at Issta, observed that European events influence travel decisions, with a noticeable shift away from Western Europe towards Eastern Europe, Greece, Cyprus, or further destinations. Skiing holidays are also popular, with demand for Bulgaria being particularly high, though ski trips are also available in Georgia, France, and other locations. The ski season typically runs from December to March.
