Wishing the safety and security of all of our brothers and sisters in Israel.
El Al and other airlines flying to and from Israel are not halting their flights into and out of Ben Gurion due to Hamas’ rocket attacks and Israel’s Operation Protective Edge response.
Additionally, some airlines are allowing passengers who have already booked their travel to change their tickets at no cost. Obviously, each airline has set their specific limitations, but most are fairly generous considering that they have no obligation to do so.
