El Al will start to gradually open one-way ticket sales for repatriation flights to the general public today after giving its stranded customers seats on routes to Israel from 22 destinations.
The flag carrier says it has now assigned tickets to its 38,000 customers whose flights were canceled following the closure of Israeli airspace with the outbreak of the conflict with Iran.
The airline has been operating repatriation flights from 22 destinations since the partial reopening of Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on Wednesday night and will be adding Tokyo in the coming days.
Ticket sales to the general public will commence today at 4 p.m. via the El Al website. There will be a uniform price for all available seats on the plane from each location.
One-way tickets from Larnaca to Tel Aviv will be sold for $99, from Athens for $149, from Rome for $199, from Paris for $299, from Bangkok for $599, and from New York for $699, among other destinations.
