These are the most profitable dates to fly

After six months of war, many Israelis took advantage of Passover and took off for a pampering vacation in the Mediterranean basin, Europe and Asia. As every year – especially with the flight of the foreign airlines from the country – the deals for vacations abroad during the holiday skyrocketed. Now, a moment later, the prices of the flights drop drastically.

In many cases, the prices you will find now for flights are tens of percent lower than those expected from mid-June to the end of August. These are significant amounts, with price reductions of 15-35 percent for desirable destinations.

For example, right now you can find vacations to Bucharest for the end of May for three nights starting at $569. A flight to Cyprus with Cordon Air Lines will cost only $213 including baggage. A flight to Prague, a favorite destination for Israelis, will also cost 276 dollars including baggage. A vacation in Tbilisi this coming weekend that includes hotel and transfers will cost around $400 via airline connections, the same goes for Batumi. And if you want to enjoy the Greek islands, just before the craziness of summer, a deal to Lesbos for four nights will start at $479. You will also find similar prices for Rhodes and Kiryat. For Budapest during May, you'll find deals with breakfast and hotel for three days at prices starting at $437 through Ista.

Tali Noy, Vice President of Marketing and Sales of Ista: "The Passover holiday is behind us and Israelis, especially young and older couples, are already planning their vacation abroad at a particularly attractive price and at a time when the airports and destinations such as Budapest, Batumi and Prague are not too busy. During this period it is recommended to travel to European destinations since the weather is favorable, the prices have dropped by around 20-30 percent."

Nir Mazor, Deputy Director of Aviation Relations: "Immediately after the holiday, we entered the 'great month of opportunities!' A most unusual month for this super complex year. The reason for this is that the airlines maintain the high supply from Passover until the summer. Also, the demand in May is relatively low, so there are great opportunities for the flexible among us to fly for a significantly discounted vacation."
