Favourite travel hotspots are back – The Australian Jewish News

RADITIONAL holiday destinations such as Bali, Fiji and Thailand are back in favour, with bookings returning to pre-COVID levels, according to travel industry experts.
Israel remains popular all-year round and enjoying an increased choice of flights from Australia.
Danny Englman, joint managing director of FBI Travel of Caulfield North, said the cost of travel to many overseas destinations has skyrocketed.
“We are in a situation where there is not enough supply and an enormous amount of demand,” he told The AJN.
“Everyone is familiar with the high cost of airfares, but that also applies to accommodation. Luxury hotels in popular cities around the world have come back with a vengeance and are fully booked.
“In the past, mid-market was mass market and upmarket was the cream, but this has been turned on its head.
“Travellers need to be aware of the situation and the best recommendation is to book early – if you haven’t booked yet for the European summer, it’s starting to get late!”
Englman said demand for travel to Israel remains high, but there is a bigger choice of airlines.
“Emirates and Etihad fly to a Jewish-friendly Gulf, which is a great stopover option with the availability of kosher food,” he said.
“El Al flies from Bangkok and Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong has just resumed, so there are more options to choose from to get to Israel, although availability of seats is still an issue.”
