A year and a half ago we went all over Israel for a trip and loved it. I decided I want to go back, despite the travel advice, for a few days in Tel Aviv. Nobody else wanted to go, so I booked solo, for next month.
Hotel and flights are arranged so all good to go.
I am starting to get a bit nervous though. I am not scared for my own safety as I feel confident the state of Israel can keep me safe while I am there. I am now getting scared of getting stuck when I have other places to get to after. I am flying Wizzair, and after the Lebanon scare a week or two ago, the airport shut briefly and airlines cancelled flights for days, if not even weeks (Ryanair cancelled for over a month until the end of Sept I do believe!).
I am there shortly after 07 Oct. If my flight there gets cancelled, I lose a few hundred (it is only refundable until 4 days before and insurance wouldn't cover it my insurance no longer covers Israel due to the travel advice to not go), but even worse, I am worried that if I were to be there and something were to happen, my Wizzair flight to Lithuania would be cancelled. From LT I am due to go to 3 other places and then home after so I could get away with being a day, max two, late on that flight, but not really anything else. And LT isn't Athens or Cyprus - it's not easy to get to with El Al or anyone else that might fly (ignoring the huge last minute costs, that again wouldn't be covered by insurance).
I loved Israel so much that I really wanted to go back, but sadly it's not that I have any friends there at all so I'd just be on my own the whole 4 days or so that I am there. What are your thoughts? Is it worth the risk of flights being cancelled and getting stuck? :( I don't want to skip it, but I just don't know what's best.
Thanks for any thoughts!
Just do it
