A fantastic destination for foodies, culture vultures and anyone interested in history and religion, Jerusalem has enough to keep even the most energetic holidaymaker happy.


When to Book Flights to Jerusalem

Peak season in Jerusalem runs from June to September. The weather is normally very hot in the summer months and attractions can be crowded with sightseers. What’s more, as this is the most popular time to visit the city, cheap flights to Jerusalem can be hard to find.

How to survive the flight to Jerusalem?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Jerusalem before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It’s also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don’t forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Jerusalem?
It’s easy — be prepared. We’ve compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Jerusalem, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
  • Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren’t.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
