Author Topic: Arkia to start flying to U.S. (Read 15173 times)

If they try not to be a low cost airline on the JFK route, they should allow a free carry on as well. Their website needs a lot of improvements including the ability to manage reservations booked with OTAs. Also I've heard many people complaining about the lack of precheck ex-jfk although I assume it's not that easy to get

Great, didn't check recently.
Will it also apply to bookings already made a while ago?

Arkia is looking for feedback, anyone else that has flown have any?

Pay comms to agents. Allow agents to add extras like baggage and seats.

Hey they asked for feedback 🤓
That's already a lot better than typical charter approach

Couldnt find anything conclusive as to the baggage policy. Read through the whole board and saw a couple others asking about this as well. Also found nothing on Arkia site. Any one have any other way we can figure this out?

There's probably no real answer to this question.
Ex-JFK I would say there's no risk in bringing one.
Ex-TLV They could make a fuss but you will probably get it through.
Unfortunately no good way to speak to them
