Top tips for finding cheap flights to Israel

  • There are three international airports that act as your arrival airports in the stunning nation of Israel. Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV), Ovda International Airport (OVD), and Eilat International Airport (ETH) are some of them. These airports are all used for international travel. However, we advise traveling to the airport that is the closest to your final destination.
  • If you arrive early and have some free time before your flight, check out one of the many lounges at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). These sofas are built with comfort and relaxation in mind. Passengers can relax away from the terminal's noise as they wait for their aircraft. There are numerous lounges, including the American Airlines Admirals Club, Delta Sky Club, Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, Centurion Lounge, Alaska Airlines Lounge, and USO Lounge.
  • You are free to leave your car at the airport's parking lots for the duration of your journey at SFO. They offer you a variety of safe and convenient parking options. Because there is often a wait for parking at the airport, call and make reservations before your departure date.
  • For travelers with limited mobility, the airports in Israel have the best accessibility. The airport offers wheelchairs for use throughout the terminal, and the check-in area and arrivals halls both have accessible toilets. For more information, speak with your airline.
  • Passengers arriving at any of the airports in Israel have a wide range of transportation alternatives. However, think about hiring a car hassle-free if you want to go around Israel. You can rent a car at the airport from Enterprise, Hertz, Europcar, Sixt, Avis, and Budget.

It was an OK flight with below mediocre service by their flight attendants

Wasted a lot of time trying to find the CDG lounge - it was not next to the connecting flight gate like the Air France staff said.

My experience was good overall, the quality of the food really decreased! There used to be a choice between meat and fish now it’s between chicken and pasta! In the choices of entertainment meditation has been added which is very good. Soft chair workout to improve blood circulation and avoid phlebitis should be added.

The only reason the overall rating wasn't "excellent" was due to problems in claiming luggage. The bags are delivered to the main area (Cinta 35) for domestic passengers, but to a DIFFERENT ROOM for international arrivees. After waiting 30 minutes, someone (who didn't appear to be from Air France or the airport) told us to go to another area. There we found our bags, which appeared to have been awaiting us for a while. We had to go through a bag check before leaving the airport. If we had been alerted to this possibility, or better yet, been to go directly to Cinta 34, we could have eliminated quite a bit of waiting.

I wish that the meal included a vegetable or even a salad instead of couscous! Why serve chicken with rice AND couscous? Service was good overall though a bit lacking in friendliness. Usually on air france I've been offered a glass of champagne before dinner, wine with dinner, and a digestif after dinner. We were only offered wine this time!

It was not Air France but Air Europa. But confusion over our checked luggage. Whether it was checked all the way to Tenerife or not. It was not. Had to line up again in Departures. At least our Sky Priority was honoured. Flight was fine.

My wife and I had a row to ourselves after moving seats. There were no TVs and you had to buy food. So we did nothing but had a quick nap. Flight was fine.

The male attended that served are section was a snob. He did not answer my call light when my wine spilled all over the floor. I did not push it again or drew his attention to it. He just ignored the call light when he came to give us our meal, serving the people behind us first. I did not push it again or drew his attention to it to see his reaction. It was so obvious that he was ignoring us. We were in premium economy!

The plane was old Only 3 bathrooms available for economy The entertainment was old and the selection was poor

Georgian Airways check in staff initially denied us, because they thought passengers required transit visas to transfer on connecting flights. This required 70 minutes for them to call multiple people to confirm how transfers worked. They did not apologize once accepting our check in. Onboard, the four hour flight gave stale bread with spam slices as lunch. The only included drinks were still or sparkling water.
