Baggage

Israelis returning on Arkia rescue flights from Dubai were charged hundreds of dollars for baggage that was actually flown by the state on separate cargo planes. Passengers are now organizing to demand full refunds.

Ethiopian Airlines expands its African network, offering discounted flights from Ben Gurion Airport, generous baggage allowances, and increased frequencies for Israeli travelers.

The Israel Airports Authority has implemented a new policy limiting baggage check-in to three hours before departure. While intended to standardize operations, the change has caused significant delays and confusion for travelers and local airlines.

Following complaints from passengers and employees, the company decided to cancel the old weight limit but impose a new charge, completely changing the flight experience.
