The deal
TAP Air Portugal is showing a round-trip fare from New York to Tel Aviv for $850. That sits below the $900 threshold we use for Israel fares, and it is rare to find transatlantic plus Mediterranean routing at this price in November. The itinerary routes through Lisbon and Milan on the way out, and through Venice and Barcelona on the return, all on one booking.
How to book
Search through the Aviasales link and book directly with TAP or through whichever OTA the search surfaces. The catch: this is a two-stop itinerary each way, so total travel time is long. Fares at this price move fast and the seat count is very low. Confirm the price before entering payment. Also check baggage fees, which can add cost on TAP economy fares.
Shabbos fit
Outbound departs Tuesday November 17 and should land in Tel Aviv Wednesday or Thursday November 18 or 19, leaving a comfortable gap before Shabbos begins Friday evening November 20. You would observe Shabbos in Israel. The return departs Wednesday November 25, well after Shabbos ends, and lands back in New York before the following Shabbos. Kosher food in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem is widely available. Carry your own meals for the flights.
