Arranging group flight
« on: June 30, 2013, 04:54:08 AM »
Hi, what is the best way to arrange a group flight from NY area to TLV? Going through an agent or directly through the airline? Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

I've had good success with the DL group desk in the past. Be sure to negotiate!
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.

DL is good and believe it or not I have found Spirit to be good as well.

As always, if one pays enough i'm sure they will do it. On the other hand, I do not know who would want to fly to Israel on their planes.

I actually saw on the BBC said Ryanair plans to start a transatlantic service. I would put them in the same class as Spirit.
