Here is a site with updated list of airlines flying or not flying:

If it says, for example:
לא (כל הטיסות מבוטלות עד ל05.09)

It means as of now they are not flying until Dec. 5, not including, meaning they are set to restart on Dec 5.

List sorted by destination airport code (for those who prefer this format) - Last updated 11/13 (12/15: added Aegean and Azerbaijan)

What is the supposed cost of the USA Embassy flights? Seems unknown.

Probably all Shomrei shabbes will receive an email 10 minutes after sunset Friday that they need to be ready within 12 hours which is Shabbos morning
@Dan prepare already an article how the US forces it's citizens to be mechalel shabbos
For those requiring the assistance of the US State Department to evacuate, would travel on shabbos not be permitted?

Am I not allowed to voice my honest opinion?

I live here and it seems like many people (mainly in America BTW..) are more concerned about the shortcomings of the US embassy than feeling the pain of those who are going through hell.

It just seems petty.

My neighbor has 4 sons who are in the army. I saw them jumping into a bus on Yuntif to go fight in Gaza. Every time I see the mother her eyes are stained with tears and worry.
I come on DDF and the contrast between her and some unhappy Americans is just to much for me to stay quiet.

Sorry if that offends anyone.

You are literally in the flights home thread. What else do you expect people to be discussing?

You certainly can. I've had your posts RTMd but even so didn't delete them.

But that doesn't mean that anyone has to agree with you.

Why are we debating whose life is more difficult? The fact that there are soldiers on the front lines doesn't diminish the difficulty of the American families who need to get home.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Someone with 6 coach tickets on El Al from TLV-MIA on motzash and 1 business class ticket from TLV-JFK on Sunday said they don't need the tickets.

PM me if you want to buy the tickets and I'll help make the transfer.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Unclear how exactly that will work. Probably similar to other one-way fares to MIA or JFK that you can check on GF.
