If you are taking an international flight, it is advisable to arrive at the airport 3 hours before departure time. If you are taking a domestic flight, you may arrive at the airport 1 hour before departure time.

On Sundays, Thursdays and Saturdays, which are the busiest days of the week, it is recommended to arrive at the airport at least 1 hour before departure time, in order to prevent delays at the security check and at the airline’s check-in counters.

Passengers with pacemakers may not pass through the magnetometer gate and should inform the security people in advance in order to be referred to another point of entry.

It is advisable to ascertain the flight times with the airline, 24 hours prior to the planned departure time.

When confirming your flight, ask whether there is a pre-flight check-in for your flight. A pre-flight check-in can save time at the Airport. Pre-flight services are available for El Al passengers, with prior coordination. For additional details call El Al on (08) 637-1515.
