In general the current prices are the norm for this time of year. Odd of course considering that many of the planes may be flying half empty. I'd think that the local LY office might be trying to find people to fill seats so maybe call them and ask. Better hurry before the rush to get back to Israel for the start of the school year.

Before I moved to Israel I used to get cheap open tickets through the Jewish Agency's education department. That might be a route to try.
