When I started planning my trip to Israel, the first thing I did was check if JetBlue flies there. For anyone looking to book, the fastest way to check availability is by calling 844-734-0813—I used it myself to instantly see options for the U.S. portion of my trip.
So, does JetBlue fly directly to Israel? Unfortunately, the answer is no. JetBlue’s international flights mostly cover the Americas and the Caribbean, so there isn’t a direct route to Tel Aviv. However, that doesn’t mean your JetBlue experience ends there. I found that you can combine JetBlue flights with partner airlines or connecting flights via major hubs like New York’s JFK or Boston. That’s exactly what I did—I flew JetBlue to JFK and then connected with Delta for the long-haul to Tel Aviv. It made the trip smooth and surprisingly easy.
Connecting via New York (JFK)
JetBlue offers frequent flights from many U.S. cities to JFK. From there, airlines like Delta, United, or El Al operate direct flights to Tel Aviv. A quick map of the JFK → Tel Aviv route helps visualize this—it’s simpler than it sounds.
Partner Airlines for International Segments
Booking the domestic leg with JetBlue gave me comfort and perks, like more legroom and better in-flight service. Using 844-734-0813, I confirmed the timing and made sure the connection worked perfectly, which saved a lot of stress.
Flexible dates can save you money
Use JetBlue’s app for domestic segments
Allow extra time for layovers when connecting internationally
Pack light for easier airport navigation
Traveling to Israel also means navigating entry requirements and airport security, especially on international flights. My tip: plan at least 2–3 hours for security when connecting at JFK.
While JetBlue doesn’t fly directly to Israel, it’s perfect for the U.S. portion of your journey. For international connections, you’ll rely on partner airlines, but planning ahead makes the trip easy and enjoyable.
