Flight Prices to Israel: What Travelers Need to Know

Planning a trip to Israel? You might have noticed flight prices seem pretty steep lately – and you’re not wrong. Israel’s State Comptroller just released a critical report about flight pricing to and from the country.

The report specifically called out El Al for charging “high and unfair prices” for tickets, while criticizing government agencies for not doing enough to keep flight costs reasonable. The Competition Authority, Consumer Protection Authority, Transportation Ministry, and Israel Airports Authority all came under fire for failing to address rising airfares.
