Ben-Gurion Airport is unusually busy - passengers wait for hours during the check-in process on the way to the plane, and workers warn of a collapse.
The heavy loads at Ben Gurion Airport are expected to worsen on Passover, when one and a half million passengers may go on vacation during the holiday - numbers similar to those that preceded the corona period, on Passover 2019. At the same time, there is a shortage of labor at Ben Gurion Airport.
The long queues have a solution, that is, for those who will pay.
Those who are willing to spend some money, will be able to shorten the queues significantly, and for the right payment you will not have to go through the passenger hall.
So how much does it cost and how does it work?
The cheapest option for shortening queues at Ben Gurion Airport is through the ground services companies at the airport. Among the companies that operate these services are Laufer, Euro Handling and other companies.
The price for shortening the queues for a group of up to six people is about $ 175 per group.
The price remains the same if it is one passenger, and even if it is six passengers.
The process works so that a flight attendant is attached to the same passenger or group, and she actually promotes them to the beginning of the queue, helps the group that hired the company services handle the process with the ground stewards and inspectors and quickly passes them the long queues.
On weekdays, the service shortens the process of leaving the country to 30-20 minutes, at the moment it can take a little longer.
"High demand for service"
If you are willing to pay a little more, you can sit in the lounge while all the examiners come to you, and you will go through the process while you sit and drink coffee.
The price for the pleasure is about $ 290 for a group of up to three passengers, with one passenger paying the same price.
The process works so that the inspectors are in the lounge and provide VIP service to those who come to it, so there is basically no need to stand in lines or pass through the departure hall at all.
The most expensive option is at Fattal Terminal, where you will have to pay about $ 460 for the first passenger and about $ 330 for each additional passenger.
In this case you can enjoy light meals, meeting and rest rooms, showers, alcohol and even a small and private duty free.
Aviad Roden, owner of Elite VIP, says of the demand: "There is no doubt that the coming period is characterized by very high demand for services that shorten the long queues at Ben Gurion Airport.
We work with all the companies that offer it, and I see that in some of them it is no longer possible to determine on some days.
There are several types of service at different prices, and of course it is possible to shorten queues back to Israel. "
The queuing processes are very much in demand during this period, and in order to be as efficient as possible in the face of the increasing congestion, it is important to emphasize that there is a space limit, and quite a few days are already completely full.
If you want to hire the services of one of the companies, you will need to order the service as soon as possible.
