It says each passenger gets 2 suitcases and the flight has a connection.  Price includes all taxes and fees.

I'm assuming these flights will probably be with either Azerbaijan, Aeroflot, or Turkish.

Could be a great opportunity to fly business on the cheap if the airline allows paid business upgrades at the gate.

I'm sure they do, but in all likelihood just a few tickets will be available.  It also says plenty of other destinations for $99, so at any rate it's worth trying your luck (if you're based in TLV).

Just downloaded the app it's a countdown screen until Friday morning 9am Israel time. Went on the app developers website flying.co.il and right now there's like 5 dates to choose from for $845 and it only has Azerbaijan airlines. Will see what happens tomorrow

Or Norwegian which also allows 2 bags TLV-NYC

I tried but all I get is:


Just tell Israelis that they can buy tickets to NY for $99 and half the country will quit everything to try.

I gave it a shot at my son's request who said he's willing to risk $99 in case he doesn't get permission from yeshiva. But I can't stay up all night trying something that has a low chance of success.

I hammered it and got to entering my CC info.  Hit confirm order and received a message that they ran out. :'(

The flight to New York is with AlItalia.  Miami is with Iberia.

Keep trying, there will be more opening up.

Looks like they're all out...  :-[
I wonder how they got those prices,as it's a lot lower than the base fare for both the IB and AZ flights...

With many (most?) Israeli TA's you don't get charged by the airline, only from the agency. Therefore, they decide the price. They were probably just giving away a few seats at nearly free for advertising purposes

Moral of the story?
Read the comments. Quite a few actually got the tickets.
