The world's largest airline, American Airlines, will start operating direct flights to Israel as early as next month.
Alongside this, the United States is coming back to life with an incredible rate of immunization, New York is opening up, in Miami almost everything is already active and so in many areas across the country.
All of these lead to a high demand for flights to the United States, and the airlines understand that competition has begun for the Israeli tourist in the United States.
All three airlines operating on the direct routes between Israel and the United States have lowered prices very sharply, if you want to fly with a connection, the prices are even cheaper.
American Delta offers direct flights to New York, Miami and Los Angeles at prices starting at just $ 614, including luggage.
American United also offers similar prices to the same destinations.
El Al has stated that the prices of its flights to Los Angeles, Miami and New York will start at $ 649, but in practice, in a search we conducted, the price is even cheaper and stands at only $ 597, for direct flights to the US, including luggage.
The promotions of all three airlines currently flying on direct flights to the United States are valid for booking until April 15th.
It is of course possible to book flights that depart until the end of the year, but in order to enjoy the promotions, the booking must be made within the next eight days.
The companies that fly to the United States with a stopover also realized the potential and they also lowered prices very significantly.
Among the prominent companies that offer cheap prices - Turkish Airlines and Air Canada.
Here, too, prices start at just under $ 600.
It is important to remember that the dollar exchange rate is currently very low, hovering around NIS 3.3 per dollar.
This means that as cheap as the tickets offered by airlines are when you get frustrated with them in dollars, they are even cheaper when you convert them to shekels, because in the past we paid much more for every dollar.
For comparison, about two and a half years ago, the dollar exchange rate was almost 3.8, about half a shekel more for every dollar.
Israelis can enter the United States regardless of whether they have been vaccinated or not.
There is a need to present a negative corona test result from the 72 hours prior to arrival in the country.
Currently, in New York there is an insulation requirement, the insulation can be shortened to four days through a quick check on the fourth day.
In most states in the United States there is no obligation to isolate and if you fly on a domestic flight from any state within the United States to New York, you will not be required to enter isolation.
