Everything you need to fly Origin to Destination: timing, airlines, and insider tips.
Seasonal
Flown by Delta
Delta Air Lines provides a vital connection between the educational and tech hub of Boston and the vibrant Mediterranean coast of Tel Aviv. This long-haul route serves as a gateway for business travelers, tourists, and families, linking Logan International Airport directly with Israel's primary international hub.
The flight route connects Boston Logan (BOS) with Tel Aviv Ben Gurion (TLV) using Delta's Boeing 767-300ER. As a seasonal service resumed in 2025, it offers a direct transatlantic link that bypasses the need for connections in traditional hubs like New York or Europe.
“This route is particularly significant for the strong economic and academic ties between Massachusetts and Israel. It simplifies travel for the large community of dual citizens and tech professionals moving between the 'Startup Nation' and Boston's innovation corridor.”
