Ex-TLV Routes and Flights Discussions

[davidrotts63]

What kind of Equipment? What about connection times? (not that I have any use for it either way, and they aren't part of an alliance so can't even think of it as a mileage run).

Either 2 stops, or 17 hour connections.
737 on the longest flight of the 2/3.
330 for the other 1/2 IINM.

Looking for a quick inexpensive 4to 7 day trip out of tel aviv the week of August 19th.  I know this tends to be an expensive time.  Willing to go anywhere.  Saw malta was fairly cheap as of last week but skyrocketed 200 to 300 percent in a week’s time.  Checking out google flights but does anyone have a suggestion on a place maybe not listed?

You can wait until it gets closer and book something with Hulyo etc. Will probably get something to Greece or Bulgaria. You can also check Romania

Now let's see how long before they discontinue that route. (Is there currently any longer scheduled nonstop route to or from LAS?)

TLV - LAS is one of UA most filled routes I believe
. Edit disregard that. But I think it could be popular.

Did you mean SFO?

Yup. It's early here..

Let's rephrase. What other carriers from other continents have scheduled service to LAS?

HU, CM, KE, WK, DE, EW, VS, BA, KL, and Thomas Cook.
It is the farthest direct flight out of LAS.

Well we know CM has scheduled service to LAS, he has posted about it several times IINM. 

Not sure who DE is, nor what specific routes do all the others you mention fly, but I would guess that they are mostly from larger population centers than TLV.

ZRH, AMS, MAN, PTY, nothing crazy.

[ExGingi]

ZRH, AMS, MAN, PTY, nothing crazy.

I would exclude PTY, as it doesn't fully comply with my question of direct routes from other continents. All the others are much larger population centers than TLV (and shorter routes).

Hey, I would be happy to be wrong on this (as I would be happy to find out that LY started to care more about their customers), but I am still skeptic this could work (for Casinos Israelis have much closer destinations and flying to the US).

OTOH every Isreali knows 4 places in the US, Vegas, Miami, New York, and LA.

You forgot to mention Washington (DC) and מפלי הניאגרה (had to write that in Hebrew, as Israelis probably wouldn't know what you're talking about if it were pronounced correctly as Niagara Falls).

+1 every flight from LAX - TLV has Israeli's transferring from LAS

Interesting DP. Enough to fill a 787?

There is a large Israeli expat population in Vegas and is both the largest tourist and conference destination in the US.  Alaska can funnel customers from all along the West Coast as well.

[KSMH]

I was recently on that side of town and met many Israelis there.

I did interact with some and all said they were either coming or going to/from NY.

[Proisrael]

Why is there so much skepticism with this route? Between the conferences that go on year round in Vegas and the amount of casino players Israel has this is a perfect location. And to the question that Israelis have closer casinos, there are no casino focus cities like Vegas closer.
