CX675 Connecting RJ343 in TLV
Hi all,
I am looking at reward ticket from HKG to Jordan, while there is an existing RJ route HKG-AMM (via BKK), I wonder if the routing CX675 RJ343 is possible.
CX675 arriving TLV at 07:10
RJ343 departing TLV at 08:30
Anyone has the experience transiting in TLV?
Thanks,
DK

Only few people transit in TLV because of the security check for departing flights. Some Aussies said on another travel forum that they did transit at TLV to go to Cyprus alike, but sufficient time had to be allowed (2.5 hours). So transiting there should be feasible.
I know this may not be your preference, but if your destination is Jordan, why not going by engaging a car? About 1.5 hours to get to the border, and normally you should be able to arrive Amman by noon. Even less time needed if you start from Jerusalem. But note the visa implication if visa is needed for your case (multiple entry to Israel for return flight). Otherwise I did this route and there’s not too much hassles.

As for cars rented in Israel, you’re right. But what I meant is getting a transfer service like taxi in Tel Aviv. There’re quite a number of taxi companies doing this and I have done this twice too. Perhaps this can be discussed in the Israel forum.

For hand carry bags, there’s indeed a high chance to be checked - custom officers may open them up and inspect every single items. My experience is that it is particularly so for solo travellers.

Not a must to open up the luggage to be checked in at TLV. There’s only a counter asking the passengers questions before the check-in counters. Your check-in luggage will go through X-ray and pressure chambers anyway.

As for connecting in TLV everything is possible...

Even with the new system, I would suggest being very careful what you have in the checked luggage and allow plenty of time for interlining.
