Israel is unlike any place you have visited before. Israel is not just a place to see. In the Holy Land God sees you and meets you there.

• Welcome to LAX airport where you will board your EL AL flight to Israel.

• NOTE: STEP IN THE CHECK IN LINE FOR EL AL AS A GROUP, NOT AS INDIVIDUALS.

• EL AL is ranked the safest airline in the world. After your security process, you will understand how they earned that award. You will be asked a series of questions to ensure that all travelers are safe people to fly with.

• You will be met by an airline official for a security clearing. You will be asked questions, some questions multiple times. The goal of this interview is to determine if you are a safe person to fly.

• Keep calm and just answer the questions mater of factly. The important message to communicate is that you are a church group on a Bible tour of Israel. You love the people of Israel and you are going to stand with Israel.

• Note that all international travelers from visa-exempt countries to Israel must have a valid ETA-IL (Electronic Travel Authorization) prior to departing for Israel. See the link below.
