Winter Storm Disrupts Flights to Israel from US East Coast

Planning a trip to Israel from the US East Coast? A powerful winter storm is currently disrupting flight schedules, with major airlines canceling some departures to and from Israel.

El Al, Delta, and United Airlines have all canceled select flights between Israel and the northeastern United States due to the extreme weather conditions. If you’re traveling soon, it’s essential to check your flight status directly with your airline before heading to the airport.

Here’s what you can do: Contact your airline immediately to explore rebooking options, and consider travel insurance for future trips to protect against weather-related disruptions. Most airlines will rebook you on the next available flight at no extra cost during weather emergencies.

The good news? These cancellations are temporary, and normal flight schedules should resume once the storm passes. Ben Gurion Airport remains fully operational, so once you’re in the air, your arrival in Israel should be smooth sailing.
