    These are the three major airlines in Israel, running frequent flight to and from Europe and North America.

    El-Al

    El-Al is Israel's main International airline company.  It has lately received very high scores in Airline Security ratings, and is considered one of the safest airline's in the world.  El-Al offers a rather good business class ticket to Israel, which is has been renamed "Platinum Class".  The airline offers very comfortable facilities, and manages (thanks to good competition from other airlines) to upgrade its services.  All and all, El-Al is a good and reliable option. In addition, the airline company offers complete packages for your trip to Israel at very good prices, so make sure you inquire about their current deals.  Another advantage is that you can get frequent flyer miles for El-Al when staying in Dan Hotels, Radisson Hotels, InterContinental Hotels and more. 

    Israir
    This airline used to serve as a domestic airline, but has in recent years started to offer International flights form and to European destinations and to NY.  The rates of this company are usually very fair, and they have many charter flights on offer.  The service and facilities are not rundown even though the prices are low. This company also offers domestic flights.

    Arkia
    Another Israeli company that started domestic and turned International is Arkia.  It too offers fair rates to and from Europe, but the service and facilities tend to be a little less acceptable in comparison to Israir.  This company also offers domestic flights.

      I just finished your small paragraph about Israir Airlines and Airport Security. I traveled last year from JFK to Tel Aviv on Israir airlines. It was my first trip to Israel and I am Jewish . The questions and the treatment by security was horrible, so horrible it did ruin my trip to Israel which was a birthday present to my Mom . I complained to Israir which really took the brunt of everything because they have to use certain security in order to be allowed to fly to Israel.
      When we got in the air I have to say Israir 's employees, food and plane was excellent. It really was a surprise because the fare was not expensive.
      After much complainig Israir is sending my Mom and myself back this year to Israel . I want to tell everyone that Israir is an excellent airline and although it is rough during security it isn't the airlines fault. After much research I know the security at JFK has it's focus on safety and they have to do what they think is best for Israel to keep it safe this ...

      El Al's service has vastly improved over the years. It's schedule limitations mean getting to and from Israel on weekends (Western Weekends) is challenging if you want to fly them. Non stop service from LA though.

      I live in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is a Delta hub, and I was very pleased to see that Delta Air Lines is resuming non-stop, daily service from Atlanta in March. This offers a very convenient way to fly to Israel while bypassing more stressful, international airports, such as JFK. I plan to use the service on my next visit in a year and a half or so -- provided Delta survives, of course!
