Day 1: DEPART USA

Depart the USA from one of the six gateways on an international overnight flight to Tel Aviv. Dinner and breakfast are served on the plane. Quotes for optional Premium Economy and Business Class upgrades are available upon request and can be quoted starting 120 days before departure. Please note that you will be responsible for arranging your domestic flight to one of the six designated international gateways for the group flights, as we are unable to quote domestic air flights. Due to the nature of group air reservations, we are unfortunately unable to request specific seat assignments in advance. If pre-selecting your seats is a key requirement for your trip, we recommend booking the land-only portion with us and doing your own airline tickets separately to ensure you have full control over your seating choices. Please note that group air must have a minimum of 10 people, and some gateways may not be available if the group doesn’t meet the minimum. You will be notified by your account manager if this happens.
