Cheap flights from Genoa to Tel Aviv Yafo

Fares often ease in the weeks either side of November, and November is the cheapest month for this route in the fare data. October and December bracket it, while January, March and April also have dated fares. Weekday departures are usually quieter than weekend ones, and prices rise around school holidays and the December to January festive period. Book November a few weeks ahead, and earlier for December and the spring dates.

None of the six airlines flies nonstop between Genoa and Tel Aviv Yafo, so every itinerary includes at least one connection and a change of aircraft, adding waiting time and a second boarding pass. Volotea, Wizz Air, ITA Airways, Air Dolomiti, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Aeroitalia all sell connecting itineraries.

Volotea and Wizz Air are low-cost carriers with unbundled fares; ITA Airways, Air Dolomiti and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines are full-service carriers; Aeroitalia's inclusions depend on the fare you choose. Compare baggage, seat selection, meals and change rules, because the same journey can be ticketed very differently.

If you arrive late at Ben Gurion International, trains and buses into Tel Aviv Yafo may have stopped, so arrange a taxi or pre-booked transfer before you fly. Ben Gurion International is the airport for Tel Aviv Yafo, sitting outside the city centre; trains and taxis are the usual ways in, and security queues can be long on departure. Allow extra time for check-in and security, and check whether your arrival day affects public transport.
