Author: skills-ilWorks out exactly how much compensation you are owed for a flight to or from Israel that was cancelled, delayed, overbooked, or moved earlier, under Israel's Aviation Services Law (the Tibi Law, 2012), and drafts a ready-to-send Hebrew demand letter to the airline. Use it when a flight went wrong and you want to claim yourself instead of handing a claim-handling service a cut of the payout. It separates the Israeli law from the European rules (different amounts and thresholds), explains your assistance rights, and routes refusals to small claims. Do NOT use for booking flights, lost or damaged baggage, or flights with no Israeli departure or arrival.
Author: skills-ilPlans a full trip abroad for Israelis: route, hotels and attractions matched to your budget and style, with the Israel-specific layer at its core. Use it when planning a vacation or trip abroad and you also need to check visa rules for an Israeli passport, travel warnings, passport validity and renewal, and health and insurance through your kupat cholim. It checks visa status and warnings live against official sources instead of guessing, because these change constantly and can get you turned away at the border. Do NOT use it for domestic travel inside Israel (use israeli-travel-planner) or for flight price comparison (use israeli-flight-finder).
Author: skills-ilCompare real flight prices from Ben Gurion (TLV): build pre-filled search links for Google Flights, Skyscanner, and KAYAK for your exact route and dates, read the live fares, and add Israeli-airline baggage for a true total cost. Use when searching for or comparing cheap flights from Israel, wanting the cheapest fare or the cheapest dates to fly, or asking about El Al, Israir, Arkia, or Wizz Air baggage fees, seasonal TLV pricing, or Issta flight+hotel packages. Presents a real comparison and never quotes invented prices. Do NOT use for domestic travel within Israel (use israeli-travel-planner), train schedules (use railil), or hotel-only bookings.
