Arranging a group airfare can really be a big pain in the tukus! That’s why we at Samson Tours try to alleviate you from this headache.
We can book group airfares for you with nearly every airline; however, for the best flight times to/from Israel, here’s the list of carriers we recommend:
| Airline | International Departure City |
| El Al Airlines | JFK, Newark, Boston, Miami |
| Delta Airlines | JFK |
| United Airlines | Newark |
| American Airlines | Philadelphia |
| Air Canada | Toronto, Chicago |
The Benefits of Booking Your Group Airfare with Samson:
 |
Group Airfare at Cost. When you book land arrangements with us for any one of our tours, we will book your group airfares of 10 or more passengers from any major international airport at actual cost. |
|
Total Transparency. As the tour leader, we’ll show you the actual airline contract! |
|
Diversions? No problem. One of the biggest challenges of managing a group airfare is dealing with diversions from some of the group members. After all, others may want to join your group tour from other major cities. If one of the group members wishes to depart and/or return to a different city of origin, but are on the main group international flight, then we charge only a modest $50.00 Add-On update fee. |
|
We work with you. Our major concern is not to find the cheapest airfare on the market. We’re taking everything into consideration on your behalf to have the safest, most comfortable, and shortest flight time as possible. We’ll work with you to find the best solution for your group. |
The Benefits of Booking a Group Airfare (in General)
- Most carriers require only a $100.00 refundable deposit fee up to 3 months before the departure date. $200.00 for Peak Seasons. After then, you have to maintain a 80% utilization rate until the time of ticketing. This means you can still drop 20% of your seats and receive a refund or credit for the deposit up till the time of ticketing.
- Business Class seats can be held for a $200.00 deposit and are generally slightly cheaper with group airfares.
- Full Payment and Names List is not typically due until one month before departure.
Testimonials
I went to Israel expecting a life changing time and I was not disappointed. Eitan made the trip so easy, fun, and adventurous. We had a group of 14 and I can attest that each one of us had an oooo, aaahh or WOW during some part of the trip. Eitan was the only tour guide who I saw cracked open his bible or bible notes. My biggest surprise was the Dead Sea it is beautiful! We had Communion, outrageously good food, good hotels just plain fun!
Eitan let us meet his family and we had an Arab bus driver(who prob got tired of me leaving stuff on the bus lol). Everybody inside the country got along no arguing very peaceful within 30 mins of us getting to our first hotel in Netanya I went for a 45 min walk by the Mediterranean Sea ALONE! Its sooooo peaceful over there. Everybody need to go to Israel at least once in their life. Put your feet where Jesus and his disciples walked and others in the Bible you won't read the Bible the same. I want to upload some pics and vids I took over a thousand! I kid you not I did not want to come back home I could've stayed another 10 days easily. I plan to go back t if Eitan can deal with me another 10 days. I want to go back to with Samson Tours. Beautiful country, Spirit of Peace hovers over them no matter what the news media says!
