Until now, El Al was the only airline that operated direct flights to London. Now other airlines are set to offer flights to the sought-after destination.

The flights will be operated alternately on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. It is unclear whether the flights will continue in April and beyond. The first direct flights are expected to start on March 1, 2015. The price for the round-trip flights is 439 dollars per person. The return flights are scheduled to begin on March 31, 2015, and end on April 1, 2016.
