How we collected the data
We scan flight prices from Tel Aviv regularly and keep them. The figures on this page cover the 152 flights found in the most recent scans, for future departure dates only.
What this page does not tell you: we do not know whether prices will go up or down. That would take months of tracking, and we have been collecting for a relatively short time. What we can say is what is on offer right now.
