General tips on how to get to Israel cheaper

Regardless of the complexity of your trip to Israel, savvy travellers alway use some golden rules during trip planning. Use these tips below to make your itinerary to Israel and save.

Flexibility with dates

Being flexible when choosing travel dates saves you the most money. This applies to any destination and Israel is not an exception. Trying different days of the week, leaving more time between the booking day and departure, early morning hours as opposed to more convenient lunchtime - all these little things can make a big difference.

Consider alternative airports or stations

Travelling from a popular busy hub can affect the price you pay for the fare. To put simple - the more people want the same service at the same time, the more reasons operators have to charge premium. Secondary, less popular airports, train or bus stations in Israel typically charge less their partner carriers, ultimately making the ticket prices a lot lower. A good example is low cost airlines that simply don’t fly from the airports like London Heathrow or JFK in New York. This is one of the ways for them to keep low fares.

Compare travel types not only the price

We all love price comparison and hunting for the best deals out there. The good thing about Airinme is that travellers can now compare air travel with trains or buses where it makes sense during trip planning to Israel. Different product types have their own value, that goes far beyond the price. Let’s face it - one hour flight works out to around 3-4 hours on a fast speed train or 7-8 hours on a bus. Hence the price range for getting from A to B can be massive - from just a few Pounds Sterling, Euros or Dollars to a few hundred. However savvy savers would prefer a bus journey, whereas people on business would go for the fastest or more convenient option - air or rail. Rail nowadays is a serious competitor for air travel due to the fact that people save more time and money by avoiding transfer fees, baggage charges, internet on board of 4G.

Return fares versus single tickets

It has been known that in the scheduled flights a return ticket costs significantly less than two one way tickets. The same logic applies with certain ground transportation fares. Travellers booking trips to Israel are are always advised to check return ticket prices as well as single tickets.

Using travel miles and bonus points

Signing up for newsletters or joining rewards programmes is another tip we always refer to, even if passengers think that they would never use a particular carrier in Israel. Truth be told you never know how things may work out - so, sig up, it doesn’t cost you anything. Besides in most cases travel companies add rewards points to your past trips.
