This directive is 100%+ political and has to do with "inequality". It's not fair (a huge issue in Israeli culture) that taxpayer money is funding travel (which is viewed as an optional luxury). It's all about stopping the "abuse" of the Israeli Healthcare system for "luxury" purposes.

Same with the UK, can't use NHS tests for travel

Anyone else saw this?

Wondering why LY wouldn't give a flight a chance? If obviously not mass tourism but one would think once or twice weekly could work. @Dan  thoughts?

It's a long flight, peope going for leisure might not mind/ want to stop in the gulf. Also, and probably more importantly, their level of anti Israeli policy (ban on Israeli products) probably makes it uncomfortable or even not possible for Elal to fly in.

Would MLE allow LY flights?
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.

Any info on EWR-TLV pricing?

How's the product?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

It's been reviewed by all the 'famous' bloggers.

I have friends who flew a few times with it - said the soft product isn't as fancy as traditional airlines, but hard product was great (it's 2-2 seating IINM) and overall a great value for money

The article indicates that flights are to/from ORY and not CDG. FWIW ORY is closer to Brunoi (though I am not sure if easier access via public transportation).

It's been many years since I've been to Paris, and I don't think I ever used ORY. How's that airport for connections?

I stand corrected. I've been to ORY several times but never had the opportunity to connect there  :-X

I'm not seeing the splash here. Half the passengers don't have direct aisle access, and a layover for $2k, when non-stop flights are $2640... Meh...

Does anyone have an idea when air Malta will restart their nonstop flights from Tel Aviv to Malta.
What is the current covid situation in Malta?
