How the hell do I get to israel?!
I've taken the notion of going there next year sometime and every site i got to (expedia, opodo etc) tell me there are no flights there from the UK. Am I missing something or is this simply due to the problems there?
Oops, just figured out what was wrong.... I was putting in the wrong city

You'll most likely have to fly El Al airlines to get there. It's the Israeli national airline and its a bitch cuz I heard they search your stuff hardcore like 3 times.
