Flights

By always advertising land only prices for all of our trips, ARZA World offers you the flexibility of choosing the flights that are best for you and your trip. You can purchase flights from ARZA World or from another source; simply do whatever works best for you and your needs. We know that each of our congregants has individual needs and has the right to select the flights that best meet his/her requirements.


Individual & Mileage Tickets

You may wish to take advantage of the ARZA World flight department; they have a dedicated staff of professionals standing by who can help you arrange flights that are just right for you. Simply choose the land only option for the trip and call their Customer Service Center to help arrange your flights; their representatives will work with you to design a custom flight itinerary to fit your requirements and dates of travel. Lastly, you may have enough miles to redeem a ticket; in this case the airline will want to speak with you directly and again, ARZA World will be available to assist you with any information you may need so that the process is as hassle-free as possible.


DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Flights

ARZA World is aware that they cannot always provide the best solutions for your air travel needs. That is precisely why they offer the flexibility for you to ‘do-it-yourself.’ All ARZA World trips always offer a land only option for you to choose. They do not want you to feel obligated to ARZA World when choosing your flight arrangements and if you find a better way to facilitate air travel for yourself, please do not hesitate to do so.  Please note that a group transfer from the airport in Tel Aviv is included in your trip fee.  If you plan to arrive at an alternate time, private transfers can be arranged through the ARZA World Customer Service Center at 888-811-2812 x 1 and the cost will depend on the number in your party.
