Direct Flights from Manila to Tel Aviv
Getting to the Holy Land is about to get easier. From January 2027, direct Arkia flights will connect Manila and Tel Aviv, so you land ready to begin your journey.
The Holy Land, one flight away
For years, reaching Israel from the Philippines meant long layovers through Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Bangkok. From January 2027, direct Arkia service between Manila and Tel Aviv will let you fly nonstop to the heart of the Holy Land. Less time in transit means more time where it matters, and you arrive rested and ready.
We build your Holy Land tour around these flights, hold seats for groups and match your travel dates to the schedule.
The nonstop, at a glance
International flight tickets are booked separately, directly with Arkia. Ask us for the current flight days and fares for your travel period; your quotation covers the Holy Land tour, matched to those dates.
