I've been checking out the prices of getting to Israel, leave Dublin on Friday and go back on the Sunday, the cheapest i have found so far is Euro 882. This is with a stop over in Heathrow both ways, is this the average price or am i looking in the wrong places ?
czech airlines much cheaperQuote:

Ye maybe it would be better to leave it for a while and see whats gonna happen. Will they change it to Cyprus or somewhere along those lines i wonder.Quote:

Ask Aer Lingus and Ryanair if they plan to operate charter flight from Dublin to Tel-Aviv... It should be cheaper.
http://www.aerlingus.com
http://www.ryanair.com
Only certain airlines can fly into telaviv - similar to the restrictions flying to USA
Ryanair have no rights, also none of their planes can fly that distance.
Aer Lingus have no planes available.
Remember it is easter weekend and a very busy time for airlines and also the insurance costs for flying into tel aviv are pretty steep!

Well don't go then! It won't stop the rest of us.Quote:

Total fare = 249.90
You can also fly out on Saturday morning same time.
available on www.alitalia.co.uk
For UK-based fans I recommed to check out the fares of Turkish Airlines from LHR or Manchester to Tel-Aviv via Istanbul... They are very cheap for tickets from Israel... I don't know their fare if you fly from UK.
http://www.thy.com
Turkish Airlines internet fare:
1 TK1996 MAN IST 13:25 / 25.Mar 19:20 / 25.Mar Friday T
2 TK1192 IST TLV 23:55 / 25.Mar 02:05 / 25.Mar Friday T
----
3 TK1193 TLV IST 06:30 / 27.Mar 08:45 / 27.Mar Sunday S
4 TK1995 IST MAN 10:20 / 27.Mar 12:25 / 27.Mar Sunday S
----
307.90 GBP taxes included.
Also, El-Al fly from Stansted and LHR to Tel-Aviv.
Internet fare from STA to TLV is 536 GBP (round trip)... :( But maybe it is possible to find cheaper fare tru travel agent.
El-Al offers 241 GBP from round trip STA-TLV-STA if you fly at 25/3 and come back at 1/4... That's the reason that I believe that 536 GBP is a mistake...
Another not very exspensive option is to fly with MALEV via Budapest.
MALEV operates daily schedule flights both from DUB to BUD and from BUD to TLV!
http://www.malev.hu
They also fly to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham & London.
An information that my father got by e-mail from the Israeli embassy in Dublin:
Quote:
Football Fever Builds up in Anticipation of Match next Year
A Football Association of Ireland delegation comprising Ray Treacy, travel advisor and Eddy Corcoran, Liason Officer returned recently from a fact-finding trip to Israel. They brought home the news that 4,200 tickets would be available for Irish fans wishing to travel to the World Cup qualifier between Israel and Ireland in Tel Aviv on March 26th next. This falls during Easter and the Jewish festival of Purim. The stadium hold in Ramat Gan holds 42,000 and Israeli football officials are predicting a full house for this vital match.
A report in the tabloid press this week suggested that as many as 30,000 Irish might travel posing headaches for those seeking tickets.
A group of expats from the Irish Jewish community scattered worldwide have mooted a reunion in Israel to coincide with the match
see www.standupfortheboysingreen.com
direct flight from Dublin to Tel Aviv
3 nights in 4 star hotel
transfers hotel airport stadium airport etc
€699 + airport taxes
Went for this ourselves.No hassle,€150 up front and €550 in January.As already advised,using a travel agent is probably the best bet for Israel.Quote:

FAI wont have tickets till feb, but have an allocation of about 4,000. shoule be more than enough.
Did you see that yesterday?

very nice!!!!!!!
What sort of cash are we loooking at.
The hopsital in Jeruselam which I was going to work at during my gap year has stopped recruiting youth voulenteers as the situation is now "to volitile" :(
Not sure whats ituation will be like for match......
The trip with www.standupfortheboysingreen.com just got reduced another €100 thanks to the strenghth of the euro versus dollar!!Thats €150 I've saved since last week.
seems like a good deal, have these guys organised any trips before?Quote:

Is it sometimes risky going with a new company?
Anyone know of other package deals?
I'm still undecided on going!
As long as the operator is bonded your money is safe, if in doubt ask for proof of bonding etc!!
Thanks for that but the other issue for me is the travel agency cancelling the trip when its already too late to make other arrangements. This has happened beforeQuote:

thanks :)
I read in a local newspaper here in TA that the municipality plan to put a many flags of Ireland along the tourism sites in the beach of Tel-aviv!
We realy want you to come visit here!
Exactly - should be a law against it. I had 2 trips to Albania 03 cancelled - 2nd one a matter of days beforehand. Even offered to help sell the 2nd one for them but they didn't want to know.Quote:

Nearly always much cheaper to avoid those guys unless you can only go for a day trip.
Looks like your the local info. head for Israel! How bout giving us tips and do's/dont's for our visit there? Like PTEGAN did for Paris? (www.travellinggreens.com)Quote:
