Passengers who purchased an UP flight ticket up to and including March 8, 2015 for departures from Tel Aviv, as of March 29, will receive a refund for the difference in port taxes (between Terminal 1 and Terminal 3) equivalent to $14.21 per ticket. For more information
The airport authority charges $14.21 *LESS* to use T1? Seems like a pretty large difference, and the airport has to piss away money on the shuttle bus. Makes more sense to have a semi-permanent "tent" right off of T3.
