Three airlines are set to resume flights to and from Israel on Sunday, expanding travel options to London, San Francisco, and Madrid after a period of reduced flight availability. British Airways will restart direct flights between London and Tel Aviv, a significant destination for Israelis for leisure, family visits, and business. The resumption of this service is expected to increase choices for passengers regarding flight times and prices, and potentially foster greater competition.
El Al is also scheduled to recommence direct flights between Tel Aviv and San Francisco. This route provides a non-stop option to the West Coast of the United States, beneficial for tourism, family visits, and business travelers. Passengers are advised to check flight schedules, frequencies, and prices for their desired dates.
Iberia Express will also resume operations on the Madrid-Tel Aviv route. Madrid serves as both a tourist destination and a transit point for other Spanish and European locations. However, a notable change exists for this route: flights from Madrid to Tel Aviv will include a brief stop in Athens, while flights from Tel Aviv to Madrid will be direct. Travelers booking round-trip tickets must verify the specific itinerary for each direction, as the stopover will affect travel time.
Overall, the return of these three airlines is anticipated to broaden flight possibilities from Israel. Passengers are strongly encouraged to confirm flight schedules and statuses directly with the airlines before traveling, as flight frequencies and seat availability may be subject to change.
