Flights (Moscow-Tel Aviv) in Israel: real experience from chats

From real experience

riskEl Al has suspended flights between Moscow and Tel Aviv until September due to security risks.
Passengers are advised to regularly monitor their booking status via email, as notification delays occur. Red Wings is the primary alternative for this route. Travelers should strictly adhere to Red Wings' carry-on dimensions, as airport staff may use sizers and scales more frequently at certain departure points like Zhukovsky.

tipWhen booking Red Wings flights between Moscow and Tel Aviv, consider booking round-trip tickets rather than one-way segments, as the latter can be significantly more expensive.
Adding baggage as an extra service immediately after purchasing a light-fare ticket can also be more cost-effective.

riskJoint flights, such as El Al and AZAL, often mean one airline operates the flight (e.g., AZAL).
If the flight is canceled and the ticket is non-refundable/non-changeable, it can be problematic. Be aware of the operating airline and cancellation policies.
