A Star Carriers – Continuing Long Suspend BA Flights

It is not easy for US Airlines to fly to Israel. While Delta and United have plans to continue flights to US, the rest of the operation is decided on a wait and see strategy, so all flights to Tel Aviv are on hold. On the other hand, American Airlines has taken a more extreme approach, as they do not have any flight plans to Israel at all, and have no intention of starting any plans soon.

What required this report are all the American Travelers. There are not enough direct flight options, and the remaining options involve complex itinieraries. But don’t worry, European hubs are here to save the day.

Good News Brace Yourself For: Expanded Flight Options.

On the other side of the pond, airlines are expanding their reach while U.S. Majors take a cautious approach. Here are the developments you can look forward to:

Lufthansa commences service with a daily frequency from Frankfurt and Munich from February 1. That’s right gents, you can now start your travel with a bratwurst and end with a falafel.

Swiss International Air Lines is now providing more than just mouth watering attractions, with daily connections to Zurich they ensure your Swiss chocolate has to extend beyond the aviation hubs.

Austrian Airlines will operate with a daily frequency to Vienna as who would not want a schnitzel stop over.

Brussels Airlines is now introducing three weekly flights and Eurowings now provides connectivity from Düsseldorf to Tel Aviv twice weekly.

And prehaps you are a traveller on a sensative budget, Wizz Air and Ryanair are here to deliver with the their incredibly low cost travel suits promising even more travel routes along with reasonable sway for the most active summer season.

Ben Gurion Airport: Pre Spring Modesty

Overseas and even within the major Tel Aviv airport, the month of January and February remains a tad idle for the 50,000 passengers to and fro and 300 international flights. There is however a major surge expected in the coming months as spring settles in.

As European carriers are expanding their operations, expect your journey to Israel to be more convenient with more options available to you. Whether it’s travel for business, leisure, or both, a European hub is always available to facilitate your journey.

What This Means for U.S. Travellers

If you are in the US and are looking to visit Tel Aviv, then here is a step by step strategy for you:

• Learn to Accept Layovers: Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, and Vienna are the new major hubs. These should be treated as mini trips before you finally reach your destination.
• Look into Budget Options: While Wizz Air and Ryanair are not going to be the most luxurious options, they are certainly going to be cheaper.
• Have Patience: Direct flights from the US to your intended destination are currently unavailable, meaning you will have to travel in a more scenic manner.

The Big Picture

Even though US carriers have not fully embraced this change, European airlines are starting to show that demand whenever it may arise, is a runway. An increase in connectivity in the upcoming months presents new opportunities for travel as they increase within Telaviv and beyond.

So, whether you’re purchasing a Lufthansa overseas ticket or searching for a Ryanair discount, there is one thing obvious: Israeli aviation is alive, and European carriers are at the fore. And as for U.S. airlines, well… they are a bit late to the party, let’s put it that way.
