Our fares now include government taxes/fees

We’ve changed the way we display fares. They now include government taxes and fees from the first time we quote your fare. So, the amount you see is the total you'll pay per person. Keep in mind fares quoted do not include optional fees like checked bag fees.

Updates to bag fees

  • If you booked on or after November 15, 2011 for travel on or after December 15, 2011, there's a 2nd checked bag fee of $70 (each way/per person) for travel to/from Tel Aviv. Also, Star Alliance Silver members will be charged for a 2nd checked bag.
  • If you're Silver Preferred and you booked on or after December 15, 2011 for travel on or after February 15, 2012, you're now allowed one complimentary checked bag. Second checked bag fees now apply.
