British Airways Extends Tel Aviv Flight Cancellations Through May

Planning to fly to Israel from London? Here’s an important update: British Airways has extended its suspension of flights to Tel Aviv through at least the end of May 2024, citing ongoing regional instability.

This means if you’re booking a spring trip to Israel, you’ll need to look at alternative airlines. The good news? Several other carriers still operate regular service between London and Ben Gurion Airport, including El Al, Virgin Atlantic, and connecting flights through European hubs.

Our advice for travelers: book with airlines that have been maintaining consistent service, and consider purchasing flexible tickets that allow date changes without hefty fees. Many of our clients have found great connections through Amsterdam, Paris, or Frankfurt that often work out cheaper than direct flights anyway.

Keep in mind that flight schedules are changing frequently, so it’s worth checking directly with airlines or working with a travel professional who can monitor availability and help you navigate any last-minute changes. We’re here to help make sure your Israel adventure goes smoothly, regardless of which airline gets you here.
