Link to form that needs to be filled out within 48 hours of flight to Israel

Accordingly, the FINAL criteria For entering Israel are as follows - you must meet ONE of these conditions in order to enter Israel:

1. Vaccinated within 180 days of the trip with either a second vaccine or a booster and it must be at least 14 days after the shot.

2. Recovered within 180 days of the trip with DIGITAL proof of a positive PCR result and more than 11 days have passed since the positive result. This type of proof only exists in the EU. The UK will likely have it as well.

3. Recovered anytime – even more than 180 days before the trip - with DIGITAL proof of positive PCR result AND vaccinated with at least one dose within 180 days of the trip. Again at the moment the digital proof only exists in the EU and possibly the UK shortly.

Your vaccination or recovery CANNOT expire while in Israel, which means you may not be in Israel more than 180 days after your vaccine or recovery have expired.

CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATING THE TERMS OF ENTRY: VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA CAN MEAN SANCTIONS INCLUDING BARRING YOUR ENTRY TO ISRAEL FOR 5 YEARS.

There is anti-Bibbi melodrama, but the story is probably true. UA has plenty of lobbyists and they aren’t happy about flying empty planes. In theory the aviation agreement gives US airlines rights to fly to Israel in exchange for Israeli airlines rights to fly to the US

Chaim V’Chessed has been incessantly lobbying for additional emergency flights between Israel and the United States. We have just learned that El Al will operate more emergency flights to and from the USA.

We can now share that Flight LY003 will operate on February 13 at 11:00 PM from Tel Aviv to JFK.

Sources tell us that several more flights will be added next week, as well. We will release those details as they become available.

TICKETS FOR THIS FLIGHT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. TO PURCHASE A TICKET CONTACT A TRAVEL AGENT OR TRY EL AL’S WHATSAPP AT: +972 3-977-1111. Enter code 15684.

Book fast, as earlier flights were sold out within hours.

Follow www.chaimvchessed.com for further details.

Is there any point in posting unbookable flights, besides for showing us how well connected they are?

Is the politics really worth it? All we’re talking about is a few flights anyway, it can’t be that much $$ more LY that it’s worth the fallout/optics.

I apologize for the harsh words. My mother needs to urgently get to the US, and I’ve been getting calls and messages from many people I know that “Chaim V’chesed says they arranged emergency flights” but they’re in fact unbookable, definitely not by travel agents as they claim.
I wrongly let out my frustration on an amazing organization that does so much to help Klal Yisroel.

Fair enough. I hope your mother's situation gets resolved quickly. Happy to delete the post if you want me to

People are saying the flights are all being booked by the foreign ministry for embassy staff going to Israel for vaccines

Very possible
I personally know a UK based diplomat who flew in for the vaccines, but that was last week.
But very possible other diplomats from EU countries flew to London to catch the plane. Just speculating

London still has one of the most open borders in the World. It's a logical place to gather.

This may open the door for resuming pax ex TLV with delta and united. That will enable many Americans to leave for Pesach, if how and when they will get back in is totally up in the air.

I see Israel more likely to shut all traffic for the time being rather than allowing foreign airlines to carry pax IMHO
