Ouch! It's too extremely expensive. I don't think you can fly on ElAl anymore. Find another airlines. Those people is very extremely upset about airfares. They don't want to spend $2,800 trip. It's ridiculous!!

There are press articles stating that government officials in Israel are investigating these EL AL price increases. The results of these investigations will be interesting, particularly since in recent times EL AL management has been both bashing the government while asking it for handouts and preferential treatment.

Considering the FAA ban and the EASA "ban" have been lifted, and many airlines have resumed their TLV flights, I don't think this will be too much of an issue

BA - got booking in I class for this week
That wasn't available until last week..... So a bit like the exact opposite of the LY pricing policy!
