Lufthansa, Swiss and Austrian airlines, which are expected to land in Israel on Monday, and this Thursday also Greek Aegean, are joined by Bulgaria Air, which is expected to operate direct flights on the Tel Aviv-Sofia route. The company is expected to return in the coming weeks, probably in late January-early February.
Another airline expected to return to Israel this month is Poland's LOT. The Polish airline is expected to start direct flights on the Warsaw-Tel Aviv route from January 28. Beyond flights to Warsaw, it will allow connecting flights to connecting destinations, including the United States. According to search engines, these are affordable prices ranging from $600 to $700.
