Some crazy price disconnect between LY and the others.
Looked up dates for a potential upcoming trip to NY

Unless you travel less than 72 hours

Anyone here ever tried that?

I was in CDG a few weeks ago for less than 72 hours, on my way back the two check in agents had never heard of that rule, I had to call a supervisor.

Starting tomorrow one can't use Kupot Holim's negative PCR in order to fly. (Unless the Kupot start charging for the option, which I don't see at Clalit).

Do they really expect everyone to go through hospitals or check2fly?

Wow, any news articles on this?
What are the best options now for testing?

Do green pass holders need to take a PCR for departure from TLV?

No

I'm assuming that also applies to Americans with antibodies?
So why are people taking PCRs to go the US instead of antigen?

Don't know about Americans, the story doesn't tell.
PCR is cheaper AFAIK

At home antigen tests are $10 in the US or $25 including a supervised telehealth session valid worldwide.

PCR was pretty much free until now. I’m not aware of any certified antigen test in Israel. The $25 option will likely get intercepted by Israeli customs as unlicensed medical device.

If they know what’s in it, they will stop it. I don’t know how likely they are to know

As of now one can still book free PCR with check2fly for future dates. One of the bloggers wrote that whoever has future bookings will receive a cancellation notice and instructions of how to rebook with the fee $:-\$

So far the 'best' option I found in the merkaz, for those who don't want to go to BGI's check2fly, is Ichilov with the Lufthansa promo for 140nis and 24h turnaround.

AFAIK one just needs to show a miles and more membership but I'll report back

Expect Ichilov to run out of appointments pretty fast.
