Ryanair will start flying to Israel this November, seats now on sale for €30


Ryanair, that European budget airline people love, hate and love to hate, announced on Tuesday it will be launching its first Israeli routes this November.

The carrier, which has become so widespread that even Prince William flies it, will launch three routes from Eilat Ovda Airport to Budapest, Krakow and Kaunas (it's in Lithuania, if you, like me, weren't sure). Each will run twice weekly, with Kanaus starting November 5, and Budapest and Krakow on November 7, according to the carrier's official press release.

In honor of the occasion, the airline is selling seats onboard the November and December flights for €29.99, on sale from now until midnight Friday, July 10. Just don't forget about all those fees.

And Ryanair sees this as just the beginning: "Ryanair will continue to negotiate with the Israeli authorities over future routes and looks forward to growing Israeli tourism, traffic and jobs," the official statement read.
