El Al to launch Tel Aviv flights to Chicago, Tokyo

The Israeli airline will launch the new routes in April 2022. El Al has announced that it will launch direct flights between Tel Aviv and Tokyo's Narita airport and between Tel Aviv and Chicago from April 2022. El Al has planned to inaugurate both routes in 2020 but the plans were put on hold due to the Covid pandemic. According to El Al's website, returns fares on the Tel Aviv - Tokyo route will start from $1,000 for a basic ticket (without baggage). Return fares with up to 23 kilograms baggage, choice of seats and options to change the flight date will cost $1,200. This compared with $1,070 for connection flights on Turkish Airlines via Istanbul or Etihad Airways via Abu Dhabi, which allow up to 30 kilograms baggage.<br/>
