Almost 100,000 passengers will pass through Ben Gurion Airport today (Thursday), three days before Rosh Hashanah and at the beginning of the weekend that connects with Rosh Hashanah, which allows many Israelis to go on a long vacation overseas.
The congestion will not end today, during the coming month there will be unusual congestion with 100-90 thousand passengers per day on 9/29, 10/13, 20 and other days, especially on those close to the holidays.
There are ways to shorten the queue.

According to the recommendation, four hours is enough to get to the flight despite the long queues.
It is recommended not to arrive at the airport more than four hours before the flight, which creates additional burdens.
Queues can be shortened by flying with a trolley and checking in in advance, which allows passage in sector W. You can also use the pre-flight service and the VIP services.
