Cheap flights from Thiruvananthapuram to Tel Aviv Yafo

Book well ahead for this route, because the cheapest seats on connecting itineraries tend to disappear first as the departure date approaches. Published fares on this route cover October through March, with March the lowest-priced month. School holidays and the winter travel season tighten availability on popular connection points, so midweek departures outside those peaks are usually easier to price. Weekends and the December to January stretch are the periods to avoid if you have flexibility.

The fares on this route differ most in what they include. Jazeera Airways, Indigo and Air Arabia Abu Dhabi price the base ticket low and add baggage, meals and seat selection as extras, while Emirates, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Air India, Srilankan Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines and Malaysia Airlines bundle more into the fare. All flights connect, because no carrier flies nonstop, so compare the transfer time and the total journey rather than the headline price alone. Check whether your fare includes checked baggage before you book, especially on the lower-priced tickets.

Ben Gurion International is a large, busy airport, so expect long walks between gates and queues at peak times, and allow generous connection or transfer time. It sits a fair distance from central Tel Aviv, with rail and road links into the city that most travellers use. Watch for the extra security screening on departure and the separate terminals for some carriers, and confirm which terminal your flight uses before you travel.
