What is the cheapest month to fly to Israel?

Based on prices shown by airline companies, it looks like November is the cheapest month to fly to Israel.

It is the end of peak season, the tourists have gone and there are no major Jewish holidays during this time of the year as the Jewish New Year celebration is by the end of September.

If you are wondering which is the cheapest day to fly to Tel Aviv and Israel, then the answer is Thursday; it proved to be the most economical day of the week.

And there is something else you should bear in mind when searching for plane tickets: people usually hate to fly during night hours and most of them choose to fly in the morning.

So, if you want to travel on a budget or just looking to pay less for your plane ticket then search flights during nightime, or late in the afternoon.

The price of these tickets might be sometimes cheaper with 20% or even more than the average price of the tickets.

So, if you are planning your trip to Israel you don’t have to worry about flights to Tel Aviv because this magnificent city has great connections with the rest of the world.

All you need to do is to plan your trip ahead, especially if you want to get the best prices for plane tickets, accommodation and car rental services.

Another advice which I want to give you is to avoid all the Jewish holidays because during there time the prices go up and the options for hotels and flights are really limited.

We talked a lot about how to find the cheapest flight and you are now probably wondering if this country is safe to visit at this moment or which are the risks you are exposing at.

Well, it is not a secret that Israel has served as a central scene for religious and political tensions for many years.

But this is not a reason to get concerned when planning your trip to this spectacular country.

What I can tell you for sure is that this country is as safe as other European or American states as terrorist attacks might strike all over the world.

I must tell you that here I saw the most strict security measures from the entire world and this really made me feel very comfortable and relaxed!

According to statistics the crime rate and pickpocketing events are even lower than the ones from the most important European and American cities.

The main reason for this is the increased number of police and army forces which patrol on the streets not during day time but also at night.
