Israel expensive

I was just busy comparing some prices of flights to Tel Aviv. (would like to go there next summer). Cheapest flight is 400 Euro’s with LOT, SN Brussels Airlines will be over 500 Euro’s. I flew to Johannesburg a couple of weeks ago for only 650 Euro’s. How come this flight is so expensive? I mean, surely, there aren’t much tourists in Israel these days.

Yes but even then flying to Israel is expensive. On my flight to Joburg I was talking to an Israeli who flew via Madrid (!) because El Al was unaffordable. After all, Israel is not that much further than Turkey (speaking from a Belgian point of view). I’m just a poor student, looking for the cheapest solution. SA also became very expensive thanks to the rand.

Seems like you’re glad to leave Israel? Where are you going to?

Partly because of security, and also, you should check on BA. And check later, you are checking very early.

Belgian citizens don’t even need their passport stamped, also if you are planning to cross the border to Egypt or Jordan, make sure your passport isn’t stamped if you want to go anywhere in the Arab World after that.
