Covid-19 Travel Considerations:

Each participant is solely and personally responsible for compliance or non-compliance with all Covid-19 protocols established by the airlines and/or any relevant governments. Because the Covid-19 protocols are fluid, regularly changing according to current conditions, Discipleship Travel LLC is not responsible for any changes to protocols by any authorities or any losses incurred by a participant as a result of Covid-19 protocols or Covid-19 illness.

Israel currently requires all visitors to have already received the Covid-19 vaccine.

Can I get a single room?

Yes, there are a limited number of single rooms available. However, there is a single supplement fee of $1,200 required for a single room for the Israel itinerary.

What is the difference between a full package and a ground only package?

The only difference between the two is that the full-package provides group airfare from DIA while the ground-only package requires the participant to provide his/her own flight arrangements. This difference is reflected in the price.

If I am flying with the group, can I upgrade my ticket or confirm specific seats on my flights?

It is possible to upgrade to extra legroom seats, but only if such seats are available at the time of ticketing. The cost for upgrading a seat depends on the particular seat selected and will be provided at the time of booking.

Can Discipleship Travel LLC help me make my own flight arrangements?

If you want to purchase your own flight Discipleship Travel LLC can certainly help you with those arrangements. Please contact us.

If you want to use miles to obtain your own flight, you must deal directly with your airline’s reward department.

What should I keep in mind if I make my own flight arrangements?

The most important consideration is that you must coordinate your arrival in Israel and departure from Israel with those of the group. You must be at the airport in Tel Aviv to meet the group at the designated time of arrival. The bus will not wait for you to arrive. This may mean that you have to arrive in Israel severeal hours – or even a day – earlier than the group or arrange your own transportation to meet up with the group. In that case, Discipleship Travel LLC can help you reserve a hotel room, but you will be responsible for the extra costs involved. Likewise, if you do not transfer to the airport with the group for your departure flight, you will be responsible for all extra costs related to staying longer in Israel and/or getting to the airport.

When should I purchase airline tickets?

In order to avoid penalties and fees imposed by the airlines should changes occur, Discipleship Travel LLC recommends waiting to purchase your airfare until the minimum number of participants (20) have registered for this tour. Discipleship Travel LLC will notify all ground-only participants when minimum participation has been reached. Participants who do not participate in the group airfare arrangements bear all financial responsibilities related to providing their own airfare, and Discipleship Travel LLC is not responsible, nor will Discipleship Travel LLC reimburse such participants for any losses they incur should the group become unviable for any reason.

When should I arrive into Tel Aviv?

The group is scheduled to arrive in Tel Aviv at 6PM on June 5, 2022. Participants making their own travel arrangements need to schedule their arrival at Tel Aviv by the time the group flight arrives. The bus will not wait for participants who are not at the airport when the bus has been loaded for departure from the airport, generally 1 hour after group arrival. If a participant is not at the airport when the bus departs, that participant is responsible to make their own arrangements to meet the group at the hotel in Galilee.

When should I depart from Tel Aviv?

The group is scheduled to depart Tel Aviv at 11:55PM on June 13, 2022. The bus will leave the hotel at approximately 7:30PM on June 13, 2022. Those making their own travel arrangements may ride the bus to the airport with the group or arrange their own transportation to the airport. The hotel rooms will be available for group participants until 10:00AM on June 14, 2022.

What is the baggage allowance?

Participants are allowed one (1) checked bag and one carry-on at no additional cost. The checked bag may weigh up to 50 pounds and measure 62 inches (L+W+D). The carry-on can measure up to 45 inches (L+W+D). Baggage restrictions can vary by airline. Therefore, it is important to verify the specific airline’s baggage regulations before you get to the airport.

What are our accommodations?

Azimut Medi Terre Hotel – Netanya (1 night)
Caesar Premier Hotel – Sea of Galilee (3 nights)
Grand Court Hotel – Jerusalem (5 nights)
*Hotels are subject to change without notice

What is the Cancellation Policy for this tour?

To review the Cancellation Policy for this tour, please go to the CANCEL tab. Also, see the CONDITIONS tab.

Are all tips and taxes included?

All tips and taxes are included. A generous tip for drivers, guides, and servers is included in the tour price, but if you appreciate the service provided you are certainly welcome to leave an additional tip on the table or add to the amount provided for the guide and driver at the end of the trip.

What out-of-pocket expenses should I expect?

Lunches will be approximately $20 each day. Soft drinks and ice cream cost about $2-3 each. Bottled water is $1-3, and will be available on the bus each day. You can spend from $1 to thousands on souvenirs and collectibles. If you are interested in visiting the diamond factory, please inform your guide so that he can make arrangements.

How much walking will we be doing?

The average day includes approximately 3-5 miles of walking. This is not done in a single walk; rather it is done in small increments throughout the day, and you will have opportunities to rest along the way. Please begin preparing for this element of the tour now. Start by doing small walks, then slowly build up your distance. Also, include some inclines (hills or stairs) in your routine.

Other questions?

Please contact Discipleship Travel LLC.
