Arkia to start flying to U.S.

[ExGingi]

Looks like they're offering an extra seat for just $100

What's with rows 1-5? Are those reserved for Tech Air or are there business seats available for purchase? (Wouldn't help me for upcoming trips due to their schedule, but would be an interesting option).

Are these flights for sale on any OTAs?

No, but travel agencies do have access to these flights, so I assume any OTA can book it over the phone.

skycanner less than $5

They now offer free luggage up to 23kg (50lbs)

[mevinyavin]

Are large carry-on bags not included on these fares?

Confirmed. Flight includes personal item and luggage, but carry-on costs $15.
Seats cost money - $10 for a middle seat in the back, $15 for an aisle in the back, and $10 more for each set of seats closer to the front, respectively. I booked a family member on their first JFK-TLV flight.

What’s the catch here? Why is everyone not all over this? I would like to book for 5 round trip in February/March, any reason not to pull the trigger?

Have you flown Ryanair?

Would you schedule travel with an airline that only has 1 aircraft?

I booked.

[yoohoo]

Why is flight time an hour longer than usual? Or is that just inaccurate

Also what is Identity # they’re asking for?

Have you flown Ryanair?

Yes. Was slightly less comfy than a coach bus.

It's a poor translation of Teudat Zehut number that every Israeli has and serves as a SSN/Zip Code to verify cc transactions and stuff.
