The Israeli airline announced an interesting move today. El Al will grant at least 10,000 plane tickets to regular and reserve soldiers who have served at least 30 days since the start of the war. The tickets that will be distributed do not include, as mentioned, port taxes, an addition that the passenger will have to pay out of pocket. The cost will start at a few tens of dollars per passenger and the tickets that will be distributed will be to the soldiers and reservists themselves and not to their families.

The destinations to which the tickets will be distributed are: Zurich, Sofia, Vienna, Thessaloniki, Paphos, Larnaca, Budapest, Bucharest and Athens. Booking will be possible this evening at 20:00 on the El Al website for departures from May 5 this year until February 17 next year, including the holidays and summer, it is important to emphasize that the allocation of tickets will be limited in some periods.
As mentioned, the move will allow approximately 10,000 soldiers to fly to one of the destinations participating in the promotion by paying port taxes only, but the company also expects a relatively large number of full-price ticket buyers, with family members, friends and those who will fly with those soldiers and reservists expected to purchase a large number of tickets flight to the same destinations.
Who is eligible and how?
Entitlement of the servants to the benefit will be done by attaching form 3010 or an active reserve service form for the reserve servants and a photo of a belt or permanent ID for the regular servants. After receiving the coupon code, it will be possible to redeem the benefit by ordering flight tickets on the El Al website or through the travel agents. El Al emphasizes that the registration will be done digitally on the El Al website only, and the customer service center representatives are unable to assist in issuing a coupon code.
