Why are they going to Greece?  To avoid landing in Israel on shabbos?

Why Athens? How many Kosher/Shabbos options do they have there? Why not a bigger community....

Why go on a flight that lands so close to shabbos in the first place?

Did they make it to a hotel before Shabbos?

Looks like ATH here: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/ELY8

They are right over Paris now. Curious why they do not land in a city with much more robust Jewish infrastructure and plenty of time before Shabbos to get things sorted.

They want to get as close to TLV as they can to avoid schedule issues next week.
