We are considering paphos but have read such horror stories of ryan air.  Are flights into larnaca better?  Which airline is recommended?  Any other close places as a suggestion for a quick getaway over the next few weeks.  Everything seems so expensive but this is the time we have.

Why does UA have a 3rd flight EWR-TLV on Yom Kippur 09/19 at 5:05am and returning TLV-EWR motzei Yom Kippur?
they have it every year, probably because of the demand from TLV, but who is flying on the outbound?
Every year. TLV is closed Yom Kippur meaning the day before United can't fly there, so in order to maintain the 2 daily flights out of TLV YK morning they fly from NY which arrives Motzai YK in TLV

LH adds 4 weekly flights to Eilat.

PR: "Jerusalem, July 18, 2018 - The German airline Lufthansa, which is celebrating 50 years of operations in Israel, is expanding its activity to another destination in Israel - Eilat (Ovdah). The company will operate four weekly flights on A320 aircraft to Ovdah, with two weekly flights from Frankfurt on Sundays and Mondays (from October 28, 2018) and two weekly flights from Munich on Tuesdays and Saturdays (beginning November 8, 2018)."

Good catch. Did a copy paste from Airlineroute that had it written like that.

I believe I once saw it come up in an award search. It may have been Swiss (operated by Eidelweiss).

This whole Eilat thing isn't really a help for most Israelis and even foreigners. The IL government is looking to create more tourism there, but for most people who have been to IL in the past or who live here, it's not worth the pain to save a few dollars. It's like driving out from NYC to WAS to catch a cheaper flight.
