Israel for cheap
 
My friend wants to go to Israel this June for 2 weeks to visit her family.
Where should i be looking for tickets for her and how to find a good price?
Travel mid-week, certain company, whatever can bring price down goes, she is flexible.

Thanks

Traveling from... London? New York? Sydney?

Besides from where asked above, why isn't "your friend" arranging this herself? Or are you traveling with your friend? Is she only interested in air? How much is she expecting to pay? If air only, check sites as Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz.

Or check www.kayak.com who lists all available flights from/to. Kayak doesn't book tickets but will direct/link you to whomever is offering the fare. This can be the airline directly, a discounter/consolidator or whomever.

Sorry but "Israel" and "cheap" is an oxymoron :((

That said, her best bet is a charter flight. They are always least expensive.
Just Google "Israel Charter flights" (w/o the quotation marks).

Hi Ziana

june is still before the school holiday - so u can get some deals on flights - perhaps ask the family to check in Israel - daily papers & cheap charters (they r in opposite directions but may accept your friend)

good luck

Just do what you usually do for flights to Europe - search like crazy!

I am just piggybacking on to this thread in looking for reasonable fares to Israel for June/July.
