For those booking domestic flights at the start or end of Seminar, leave yourself at least four hours prior to/following your international flight as a precaution.

Flight times and airlines are subject to change. 

Flight Information: Seminar Classic (Israel)

Unfortunately, El Al is not offering group rates from any city this year for Ramah or many other teen Israel programs, as was also the case last year. As a result, all of our ISRAEL (not Poland Journey) group flights will depart from New York (JFK), either on Arkia or Israir, two additional Israeli airlines. Due to the uncertainty of Israel travel over the past several years, we will not be purchasing group tickets on non-Israeli carriers (aside from our Poland Journey flights).

Registered for a flight from Los Angeles (LAX), Toronto (YYZ), or Miami (MIA)?

We are holding seats for you on our New York group flights. You will have priority on our second group flight, on Arkia, departing JFK at 6:55 PM. Please let our registrar know whether you would like to join a New York group flight or plan to arrive at Seminar on your own.

Poland Journey participants fly on Lot Airlines on a group ticket that RETURNS through Warsaw, as this is the only group flight option for travel between North America, Poland and Israel. The only way to return directly to Israel is to purchase a one-way return flight separately. 

Important note for Los Angeles participants:

The outbound group flight to Poland departs from New York, and the return flight lands in Los Angeles. West Coast participants will need to book a one-way flight to New York that arrives at least 3 hours before the group flight departs. We know this adds an extra step for West Coast families, and we appreciate your flexibility. This itinerary allows all of our teens to begin the Poland Journey together, and being together from the very first day is a meaningful and essential part of the experience.
