CTech – Israel’s national carrier El Al Israel Airlines has begun selling direct flights to Tokyo, the company announced Tuesday. Ticket prices start at $999 for a roundtrip, and the duration of the flights is expected to be 11.5 hours from Tel Aviv to Tokyo and 12.5 hours in the opposite direction.
