How it works
Detailed explanations of how we select events, track prices, and determine Shabbat and holiday dates.
How we decide what falls on Shabbat
Shabbat begins at sunset and ends when the stars come out — times that vary by location and season. A flight in our data is a departure date with no time, so we cannot claim that precision. Instead, we use one fixed window: Friday from 19:00 to Saturday at 20:30, local time, and the same window around each holiday.
This window is wider than the true window on any given day of the year, by design. Better to hide a flight that turned out fine than to offer you one that wasn't.
The time is the local time at the airport where the flight departs. We do not convert time zones or check sunset.
Holidays are as observed in Israel: one day of holiday, not two.
Our Hebrew calendar coverage spans 2024 to 2030. For dates outside that range, we can still tell you the day of the week, but not whether it is a holiday. Shabbat we always know: it is the same day of the week, every week.
How we pick the events
We show only big events — in Europe. Concerts: top-tier artists only — global stadium and arena headliners from a curated allowlist. Festivals: major European festivals only, from a curated list. Basketball: EuroLeague games of Israeli teams abroad, or big EuroLeague matchups between top clubs. Football: games in top European leagues that pass a crowd threshold, or games abroad involving Israeli teams.
A star ⭐ means this event is especially notable: a global megastar or a football classic, or a EuroLeague semifinal. Events in cheap cities get a star boost. In the end, it is just a rank within a category — not every star will interest you.
Padel: only the top tier of European tournaments — Premier Padel Major/P1/P2 and FIP Platinum/Gold. Silver and Bronze events are not included. The tier badge on the card and event page says which level it is, and the trip is planned around the semifinal/final weekend, not the tournament's full week.
Christmas markets: only the big, well-known markets across Europe, from a hand-checked list. The card shows the opening weekend and the full window it stays open — unlike a concert, this is not a single day.
Sport: snooker, NBA and NFL games in Europe, rugby, cycling, MotoGP, boxing and UFC — only the biggest events on the calendar, from a hand-checked list. The card shows which sport it is.
Israeli league? Coming soon with good flights to Europe — probably not early 2025, but yes in the years ahead.
How prices work
Prices come from third parties and can change up to the moment you book. The price on the booking site is the binding one.
How fresh? We checked yesterday, last week, or a few weeks ago — so by the time you look, the booking site's price may be different. We track prices daily for near events, and less often for the far future.
Direct or with a stop? We show only direct flights — no plane changes or connections. A connecting flight is sometimes cheaper and you can find it yourself, but it is also more complex.
Trusted carriers only. We hide airlines that are obscure or where no one updates us daily. This way you won't see an offer that the booking system deleted the next day. These airlines are still in our data — you can find them yourself if you want.
Stale data? If a price differs from our first check to the booking page, that is stale data or a price change. Stale can happen because prices update constantly or we recheck less often for far dates. On the booking site itself, you will see the correct price.
Luggage and extras? The price you see is usually just the flight. Luggage, seats, and checked baggage — plus border requirements — may cost extra at booking. Check the airline's terms.
Price history? This is not a prediction and not advice. It describes the prices we happened to see for an event, and nothing more: we do not know what any price will do next, and a cheap flight can sell out at any moment.
What "Dates confirmed" means
Confirmed: The organizers have announced both date and location. Time to plan a trip.
Tentative: The organizers have a rough date but haven't confirmed yet. Or they just announced a tentative date and are still sorting it out themselves. Check again on official announcement day.
Tentative events disappear from the list once they become confirmed. If you saw an event and it vanished, they likely moved it, canceled, or it was never on our list to begin with.
How packs are built
A pack is one trip that covers two events in one city or two nearby cities — the flights and hotels are the same for both. One price, savings on travel between cities.
We connect only events that the founder and other people said make a good trip together: a match and a concert in nearby dates, or two games of Israeli teams in nearby dates. Not every pair of flights becomes a pack if it is not a good trip together.
No double packs of the same event. A pack is built from one date of one event + one date of another event. If there is a third event in the city, it is not included in this pack.
Lifecycle: until a few weeks before the trip, one price is a combo we optimize ourselves for both. After that, each event has its own flight, and the pack is just two flights bundled under one price — still a pack, but the price is no longer actively managed.
"Good price" badge
A "good price" badge means this is a deal for this week or moment in time, compared to the same trip at another time. It does not mean the cheapest in the world or the cheapest we have ever seen.
How do we measure?
· The average of every price we have tracked for this trip in the past
· The average of similar trips to the same destination and date window (other matches, festivals in comparable cities, etc.)
· A baseline of "low season" or "high season" for that place and time of year
A deal = the current price is at least 25% cheaper than the average of these trips, or it is the cheapest we have ever seen for this trip.
The deal spans from the moment the price drops until the day the flights move to booking. After booking itself, it is no longer a deal — it is a trip you have already booked.
Travel advisories
The link on the event page goes to the official National Security Council site (gov.il) and nothing else. We do not summarize, rate or interpret travel warnings, and we store none of their content. The official site is what counts, and it is updated over time.
Affiliate disclosure
We may receive a commission on flight links from booking companies, at no extra cost to you. This means if you click a link and book a flight, we receive a small share of the commission. You pay exactly the same price.
We also receive commission on tours, hotels, and car rentals through sites like GetYourGuide, Booking.com, and Rentalcars. You pay no more than if you went directly to the site.
So here is what we do: you look for a trip, we track prices and curate events, you book a flight, and we don't pay us directly.
