Of Airlines and Travel Agents
I just finished purchasing our airline tickets for our trip so our itinerary is totally set.
It has been an impressive ordeal to obtain airline tickets because airlines do not allow tickets to be booked a year in advance - the limit, interestingly enough, is 331 days. Since we will be away for nearly 365 days, we had to find an airline that would be flexible with us.
While we wanted to fly El Al, it was just too expensive. We're taking British Airways and, as an added bonus to ourselves, we're spending a few days in London enroute.
Here's the plan...
Leave Sacramento late Monday night, June 19
Arrive London on Wednesday morning, June 21
Leave London on Monday, June 26 and arrive Tel Aviv the same day
Classes start in Jerusalem on Sunday, July 2 (the school week is Sunday through Thursday).
Next step - our student visas at the Israeli Consulate in San Francisco!
