Airport at a glance

Our catalogue records 0 outbound and 1 inbound corridors at Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV / ICAO LLBG), serving Tel Aviv, Israel, across 2 carriers with 1 of them based here. Time zone Asia/Jerusalem. Frequency across the corridors touching this field totals about 7 departures a week.

IATA and ICAO are used in different places. The three-letter TLV is the IATA code that appears on tickets, bag tags and search screens; LLBG is the four-letter ICAO code used in flight plans, notices to airmen and operational paperwork. IATA codes can collide for historical reasons; ICAO codes do not, and their first letters encode the region. A four-letter code in aviation documentation is not an error — it is a different system.

A base changes the outcome when things break. El Al are based at TLV, meaning aircraft, crew and operations staff sit on site. When a flight is cancelled the odds of a seat on the next rotation, or of a spare airframe, are far better at a base than at an outstation the carrier touches once a day. It is why the leg departing an airline’s own base usually recovers faster than the one returning to it.

Airlines serving TLV

2 carriers appear at TLV in our catalogue and we hold an airline row for 1 of them, with baseline baggage spanning 30 to 30 kg. Alliances present: Star Alliance. 1 of them are based here. Frequency across the corridors touching this field totals about 7 departures a week.

The alliances present here shape connections. Star Alliance operate at TLV, which opens through-checked bags and continuous boarding passes on a single ticket. The caveat: sharing a terminal with a partner logo does not mean your two flights are actually connected. The agreement attaches to the carrier pair and the ticket type, not to the building.

Carriers we hold no row for. El Al appear at this airport in our catalogue but have no alliance or baggage record in our database, so we print a dash instead of guessing. Check those carriers’ own pages before buying — an empty cell is more honest than an unsourced number.

Inbound

Outbound and inbound are asymmetric because this is a catalogue boundary. We record 0 outbound and 1 inbound corridors for TLV. The gap reflects which route guides we chose to build — weighted to what travellers from Thailand search — not one-way service. The return flights exist whether or not we have published a page for them yet.

This field sits in our catalogue as a destination. We record 1 inbound corridors into it, splitting 1 long-haul (7h+), and no outbound guides — we build route pages only for journeys starting in Thailand. Departures from here exist; they simply have no page in this set yet. Read the carrier’s own schedule for the return.

Corridors & fares from TLV

The 1 corridor at TLV break down as 1 long-haul (7h+), serving mainly GCC labour & Muslim pilgrims. We hold a cached fare for 1 of 1 route, the lowest ฿27,524 on BKK–TLV. The field runs on Asia/Jerusalem, ICAO LLBG.

Most TLV corridors here serve GCC labour & Muslim pilgrims travellers. The mix is 1 long-haul route (over 7 h). 1 are labour-migration or diaspora corridors where extra-baggage allowances matter. Fares are shown in Thai baht (THB), and each route guide below carries live cached prices.

Everything is shown in baht, and that matters more than it looks. Fares are converted to THB so they compare on one page, but the underlying prices are set in the currency of the market that issues the ticket. The same corridor can price differently issued in different countries, and the exchange rate moves between our capture passes. Read these as a ranking, not as accounting figures.

Why some rows have no price. We capture lows in passes, and not every corridor returns a value each time. Seasonal routes, thin routes and routes sold through narrow channels report irregularly. An empty cell means no capture succeeded in the latest pass — not that the route is closed or expensive. We leave it blank rather than interpolate, because plausible-looking estimates are exactly what makes a table untrustworthy.

Direct destinations are not all reachable destinations. This list is the nonstop network in our catalogue. Everything else is reachable by connecting at a hub, which widens the choice and adds a point where the plan can break. If you must connect, make a single ticket the default and only split it when the saving is large enough to be worth the risk you are taking on yourself.

The destination country sets the rules, not the departure airport. The corridors here span 1 country, each with its own aviation regulator, visa regime and transit conditions. What you are owed changes with the destination and the direction of travel, not with the airport you left from. The route guides carry the detail per corridor.

Time zone and connecting at TLV

TLV runs on Asia/Jerusalem, 5h behind Bangkok. This zone shifts its clocks seasonally, so the gap changes across the year. Every time printed on a boarding pass is local to that airport rather than an elapsed duration, so subtracting one from the other gives you the wrong number.

Offsets make overnight flights deceptive. With TLV 5h behind Bangkok, a late-night departure can arrive the same morning or the next one on paper for identical flying time. That is the single most common reason transfers and first hotel nights get booked on the wrong date. Read the date on the final sector’s boarding pass, then confirm anything on the ground.

Minimum connection time is not in our data. Every airport publishes one, and the figure differs for domestic-to-domestic, international-to-international and terminal-change connections. A booking system will not sell you less than that on a single ticket — but it will happily let you build less than that yourself across two tickets. That is where passengers most often create risk without realising it.
