As a result, the various airlines saw the huge demand that was rising and began to charge extremely high prices for plane tickets. In a comprehensive review conducted by “Israel Hayom” of the prices of direct flights of the Israeli airlines El Al, Israir and Arkia, huge gaps were discovered between the average prices in 2019, before the outbreak of the corona virus, and the situation today. The destinations tested are at least some of the Israelis’ favorite destinations among them: Bangkok, Paris, London, Rome, New York, Budapest and Berlin.
