The corona crisis has prevented many of us from vacationing abroad in the past year • But one of the consequences is the depreciation of the dollar, which allows the purchase of particularly cheap airline tickets

Effect of the Corona Crisis in the United States: The
fall in the dollar rate allows the purchase of airline tickets abroad at lower-than-usual prices.
In the UK they will start vaccinating next week against Corona and it seems that soon in the United States as well.
The vaccine is also expected to reach Israel and other countries and there is a sense of light at the end of the tunnel.
Against this background, many Israelis have already begun to fantasize about vacations abroad, after a difficult year in which few of them were allowed to board a plane and vacation abroad.
Even those who did, were forced to rest alongside restrictions.
Along with optimism on this issue, the dollar has reached a 12-year low and is trading at 3.25 cents, down nearly 6 percent in the past year.
This is bad news for exporters, but Israelis who buy in dollars will enjoy particularly cheap prices.
In international search engines you can set your flight search by dollar and thus enjoy its low rate.
It is important to note that foreign sites are not subject to the Consumer Protection Act and it is advisable to check carefully whether the cancellation terms are right for you.
At the same time as booking flights, you can also enjoy the decrease in the dollar rate when booking hotels through the same international sites through which you can book in dollars.
Of course, the low exchange rate of the currency also makes it possible to purchase quite a few other products at cheaper prices.
