US Air has started daily flights to Israel from Philadelphia. Prices seem quite low to places other than Philadelphia. I managed to book a flight on their Israel site to Boston for $875 (via Philadelphia). Interestingly enough, the exact same flight to Philadelphia costs $200 more.
Flights leave TLV at 11:15p and arrive at PHL 5:10a (Oy Vey!).
Flights leave PHL at 9:15p and arrive at TLV 3:30p+ .
Reasons to fly US Air:
- You want to go to Philadelphia (or just avoid New York)
- Good deals to other US cities
- Sully may be your pilot
As far as Frequent Flyer miles are concerned:
- Miles may be accrued on the US Air Dividend program or on programs of Star Alliance Partners (most relevant to TLV2JFK readers are Air Canada, United, Austrian, Turkish, Swiss, Lufthansa and Singapore)
- 80,000 US Air Dividend miles can get you to the States including Hawaii, Central America and the Caribbean.
With the addition of US Air, the following 4 cities are served non-stop from Israel:
New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Philadelphia
Before we get all excited about that – guess which 5 UKRAINIAN cities are served non-stop from Israel.
Give up? They are:
Kiev, Lviv, Odessa, Simferopol and Dnipropertovsk
Lets hope ElAl puts back the non-stop to Miami, so we can tie the Ukrainians.
