Israel ticket for the upcoming weekend
« on: August 17, 2010, 03:02:17 AM »
I'm looking for a ticket from NYC to Israel for the upcoming weekend. Something like Thursday to Monday (8/19-8/22). I don't care about stops, but I prefer to land in Israel before noon on Friday. My budget is ~$1,000.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

I've seen that too. I've even tried priceline @ $1,000 and didn't get anything.

My travel dates are flexible, i.e. I can leave tomorrow and return on Monday if necessary...

For $50 not worth losing two days of work and flying indirect. Thanks though.

Thanks all for your help, I booked Delta @ $1300 with an agent. I could've bargained for a few dollars cheaper.

Did you bother calling the number I gave you? Or is that a different agent?

I got it from an agent I use regularly, he needs the parnassah. I called the number you posted and got a voicemail. I was ready to purchase, didn't want to wait for a callback (it was like 5:40pm, callback might have been tomorrow morning).

Thanks for your reply though.

Ya, sometimes It's hard to get through to them, but it can be very worth it.
