Cheap flights from Chania to Tel Aviv Yafo

The weeks on either side of the low point often come close, but February is when fares bottom out on this route. Through spring they climb again, and August is firmly peak season at both ends. Weekday departures are usually easier to find at lower fares than weekend ones, and school holidays in Greece and Israel push prices up. Booking outside the Christmas and Easter windows helps, and checking a few weeks ahead beats a last-minute search.

Every option on this route connects at least once, since there are no non-stop flights from Chania to Tel Aviv Yafo, and the stopover point depends on the carrier and the fare you pick. El Al Israel Airlines, Aegean Airlines, Sky Express, Edelweiss Air, Lufthansa, Condor, Eurowings Discover, Brussels Airlines, Marabu and Austrian all appear on this route, mixing low-cost and full-service brands. Low-cost-style fares usually exclude checked baggage and seat choice, while fuller fares more often include them, so read the inclusions line by line. If you book two separate tickets to build your own connection, the risk of a missed link falls on you rather than the airline.

Getting into town from Ben Gurion International is straightforward: train and taxi links cover the short run into Tel Aviv Yafo, and the airport is well signposted in both Hebrew and English. Allow extra time for security screening on arrival and departure, since checks are thorough at Ben Gurion. If you are continuing beyond the city, the rail and bus networks fan out from the centre, so plan your onward leg after you land. Watch for separate terminals and follow the signs for your carrier.
