Originally posted on 9/29:
Following the European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s recommendation that airlines suspend service to Israel and Lebanon until 10/31, many airlines have suspended their flights to Israel. I’d expect more suspensions to match these recommendations.

Where did you find the information that Air Europa cancelled until 10/02?
Please read the beginning of the post again.
I booked Iberia for 10/15. What’s the chances they will rebook me if it gets cancelled?
As per magic 8 ball “outlook not so good”
@dan,
I have a flight ORD-MAD-TLV leaving the 7th; Do you think its going to take off? Any inside info; also in your experience would Iberia rebook on another airline or even elal if possible?
Even if they would rebook you think elal will have any seats?
Unlikely they will be able to find you seats on El Al even if they are willing. El Al is full on many dates.
My flight is October 6th flying to Israel with ITA. I wasn’t told it was canceled but now i am seeing ITA is starting 11/1. How do I find out if my flight was canceled?
It will soon be canceled.

Thanks for the information! Is there a chance of being rebooked else where? Or I’d need to rebook with another airline on my own. It’s very important for me to be there October 7th
Call them directly. I called them today. My flight, on 10/13, is still flying. Call to check on the status of yours.
They canceled my flight so now trying to figure out my options because they can only rebook me to Athens with a stopover in rome. Is your flight still good?
Dan, do you know anything about neos airline?
Have a ticket from Verona to tlv tomorrow.
Was wondering if anyone has any information on NEOS? Booked for Thursday before YK, from tlv to JFK thru Milano… Pls advise
I have a flight on 10/1 from Paris to tlv and still showing on schedule
What about AF? It looks like they only cancelled until Sep 30, Just making sure that it’s only the next avail flight that’s 10/3 and not that until then everything is cancelled.
I have a flight with Virgin Atlantic from TLV to LHR on Oct 9. It is the day that Virgin Atlantic is supposed to start flying again. Should I assume that they’ll follow the recommendation and cancel? I would like to figure out alternate arrangements but only if I can get refunded.
i have a tarom flight for 9/30 showing as operational ?
“Note that earlier flights may be operational but aren’t currently available for purchase, check with your airline for the latest status.”
Where do I see on Air France’s Website? I tried searching and I couldn’t find the info.
the tarom website shows flight ro 155 as operational. my friend checked in by jfk on delta to cdg, and they checked in his bags to tlv [second ticket is separate ticket, cdg – otp -tlv]
“Note that earlier flights may be operational but aren’t currently available for purchase, check with your airline for the latest status.”
I have a Bluebird Flight on Tue Oct 1 ATH-TLV at 11:20 am, is my flight canceled?
“Note that earlier flights may be operational but aren’t currently available for purchase, check with your airline for the latest status.”
Trying to get in touch with the airline.. Does anyone know how can i reach Bluebird Airlines? or at least where to see the status of my flight?
Dan(iel) the modern day Navi of flights 🙂
Elal is your one and only safe bet these days folks! If you really want to get there… book elal. If you can.
Everything else is up for grabs and subject to the whims of the airlines.
Dan, what does this mean “Note that earlier flights may be operational but aren’t currently available for purchase.” What does operational mean? Are they going to be flying or canceling the existing flights for ITA between now and Sukkos? Thank you!

Bluebird: Athens-Tel Aviv on 10/1
dan does this mean their only flying from athens to tlv, i have a flight berlin to tlv sukkos time on bluebird airways if you can explain thank you very much
Flyone airlines is also currently flying. They offer flights to Yerevan
I had a ticket with AirFrance via CDG with second leg being LY222 (ELAL). Air France notified me that LY222 is canceled and rebooked me on AirFrance than canceled the AirFrance ticket. But looking at FlightAware we can see LY222 is still scheduled!
Is Emirates still flying TLV to Newark via Athens? I have a flight booked for Chol Hamoed
Emirates never flew from Athens to Tel Aviv.
I assume he is referring to the Emirates TLV to EWR via ATH, with the TLV-ATH leg a codeshare with Aegean. Pretty popular flight.
So the question is whether Aegean will fly, not Emirates.
Nobody can answer that.
Why is Aegean less known than other airlines? Are they a reliable airlines?
Huh? Whatever is written in the post is known.
So I have an Emirates flight, starting out with Aegean from TLV to Athens, on 10/22, then continuing to Newark on Emirates.
Is that going to go?
In the post your write about the other direction. Are both directions the same?
As I have experience with the Emirates-Aegean Flight, very likely that aegean will cancel and at the LAST MINUTE since they do rolling out cancellations. You should look for an Elal flight to athens as they can be cheap (144 USD one way) if there is availabilty….
Even though the European Union Aviation Safety Agency’s made the recommendation airlines suspend service to Israel and Lebanon until 10/31- seems like most have them have not gone that far to cancel through till Oct 31.
Why should they not take your interest free loan?
I have my flights booked with ITA, on 10/13. I called them today. They told me that flights MIGHT be cancelled. They told me that my flight is still flying, as of today.
It’s cancelled. They’re just holding onto your money because they can.
Dan Is there anything we can do? My flight is October 6th and I called ITA and Chase who I used to book the flight. And they both told me the flight isn’t canceled so they can’t change my flight or refund. But I want to get on a new flight before it becomes crazy expensive.
Any word on Swiss? Right now they say they are flying on the 15th…
I have a flight on neos air on 10/7. did they cancel?
Yes they canceled
I just spoke to Virgin Atlantic and they said their legs into Tel Aviv have only instructions until flights to October 8. After that, the commercial policy has not changed regarding that route
Everything in this post is verified info.
Here is the company’s statement to DansDeals:

Bluebird: Athens-Tel Aviv on 10/3
dan does this mean their only flying from athens to tlv, i have a flight berlin to tlv sukkos time on bluebird airways if you can explain thank you very much
No, that’s just their next available flight.
Air Europa cancelled thru 10/7
I have A Virgin Atlantic from London to Tel Aviv operated by El Al, is that included in the virgin Atlantic suspension?
Of course not. That’s just a regular El Al flight.
Dan, What does IsrAir flights “mostly operational” mean? Can it be relied on?
Some Arkia and Iarair flights are operated by EU leased planes that are not operating.
YMMV.
Is there any way to figure that out before I book?
Any update with Aegean?
If there’s an update, it will be in the post.
FLYDUBAI JUST CANCELED ALL TOMORROWS FLIGHTS TO TLV
Anyone know what could be done if trying to use miles to fly to Israel next week?
For instance, what about if I flew to Athens with miles and then did El Al? Also what if one misses an El Al flight can you get a refund easily if you cancel before, like you could if you book United or AAdvantage with miles?
Great questions! I’m in the same boat Thinking about making it into an experience and spending a day in Athens and then flying to larnaca and catching a flight from there since tickets are more available and cheaper.
Is it safe to fly tus air or better to go on israir to go to larnaca?
Anyone have a recommendation for a flight agent that can get me on elals wait-list from Athens or larnaca:)
Does anyone know if the sapphire reserve provides for any sort of trip insurance for flights on El Al booked through chase travel? I would like to get a refund if possible or file an insurance claim (is there such a thing for a war zone?). I’m tired of these El Al vouchers and now they won’t even extend some of them. Would appreciate if someone can answer my questions. Thank you!
@dan what about KLASJET Flights operational like El Al?
Wizzair: Bucharest, Budapest, Larnaca, London/LTN, Milan, Sofia, Varna, Warsaw-Tel Aviv on 10/2.” does this mean their only flying from the above locations to tlv? or are they flying on all routes please be clear
bluebird airways athens to tlv on 10/2 means what exactly they wont fly berlin to tlv im not understanding thank you
How soon after an incident such as this one do airlines generally advise about changes to their schedules? If an airline hasn’t extended their cancellations yet, does that mean that they are unlikely to do so (as a result of the latest Iranian missles)?
Are there any updates to this post since 10/2?
