The additional flights will operate according to the same timetable as that of the existing flights.

 

Flights will depart Tel Aviv at 12:55 a.m. on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays and land in San Francisco at 6:00 a.m.the same day.

The returns will depart San Francisco at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays and arrive in Tel Aviv at 8:10 p.m. the following days.

Tickets to San Francisco cost $1, 200 for tourist class and $4, 500 for business first class.

“We’re very excited about introducing nonstop service between Tel Aviv and San Francisco with the customer- pleasing Dreamliner, ” said Avi Friedman, United’s managing director of sales in Israel. “This is a response to demand from our customers for direct flights to one of the United States’ most popular business and tourism destinations, with the added benefit of convenient onward connections from our San Francisco International hub.”

While American Airlines canceled its Tel Aviv-Philadelphia route, El Al recently added direct flights to Boston, and European low-cost carrier Ryanair announced new routes between Europe and Eilat’s Uvda Airport.
