New Flight Route to Cyprus via Aqaba: Budget-Friendly Option

March 22, 2026

Great news for travelers looking for budget-friendly ways to combine their Israel trip with a Cyprus getaway! Ista tourism company has launched a new ‘air bridge’ service offering daily flights from Israel to Paphos, Cyprus via Aqaba, Jordan.

This could be a smart option if you’re planning to visit both Israel and Cyprus, or if you want to extend your Middle East adventure. The company is offering complete packages starting at just $495 per person, which includes your flight, hotel accommodation, visa assistance, and ground transfers.

The route works by flying from Israel to Aqaba in Jordan, then continuing to Paphos in Cyprus. While it adds a connection, the all-inclusive package price makes it quite competitive, especially for Passover travel when direct flights can get expensive.

If you’re considering this option, keep in mind you’ll need to factor in the additional travel time with the connection in Aqaba. But for budget-conscious travelers who want to explore Cyprus as part of their Israel trip, this new route offers an interesting alternative to pricier direct flights.
