LO & LY sometimes price together. But I only saw LY TLV-KRK as WET LEASE ON BEHALF OF SUN DOR   
They usually do.
I also only saw that, does it make a difference really?

That flight seems to be of no interest to most people on this forum.

"The flight will take off from Beijing on Saturday at 1:55 AM and land at Ben Gurion Airport at 7:45 AM the same day. On the same day, a flight will take off from Ben Gurion Airport at 2:40 PM"
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

It can still reduce prices (and open availability) on flights that are relevant to most people on this forum.

So should we hope, fantasize, or encourage some kind of activity, in order to make those relevant issues happen?

Will other yidden be mechalel Shabbos for any of the possible benefits to occur for shomrei Shabbos?

IMHO the only reason to care about these flights is if it bothers us more that yidden are mechalel Shabbos, and we can do anything to counter that (by increasing our own shmiras Shabbos, or by trying to educate others and help increase shmiras Shabbos).

It may be very late wherever you are.
I do not assume that more Yidden will be mechalel just because there's a flight to PEK.

So you are assuming that all the employees working on this additional flight at TLV are non Jewish?

Find availability on one of the airlines that fly the route non-stop, and then figure it out.

My guess is that your best bet might be ELAL Matmid, unless you have a way to get UA saver  availability.

IINM AC is 40k.
Aegean might be even less.
ANA with RT workaround(?)
