FAQ's
Question
When should we fly into Israel?

Question
By when should I book my tickets & reservations?
Answer
From a cost & availability stand-point, the sooner the better. There are limited direct flights from Montreal. When booking flights, we recommend making sure that there are no change fees, should you want or need to change your flight. Same with hotels/airbnbs if possible.
Question
What area of Tel Aviv should I stay in?
Answer
We recommend staying on or near the beach. The most popular sandy stretches are centrally located (Gordon Beach, Frishman Beach, and Banana Beach) There are may nice hotels along the beach that we can recommend! As well, you can often find an AirBnB close to the beach. The Tayelet (paved boardwalk) that runs along the beach between central Tel Aviv and Jaffa is especially beautiful at night and is lined with plenty of cafés and restaurants. Great places to visit in Tel Aviv: • Carmel Market • Sarona Market • Rothschild Street • Park HaYarkon • Jaffa Old City • HaTachana Old Train Station Feel free to reach out if you want to run any ideas by us or get some more advice.
