HOT! Roundup Of Valid Transaero Flights From NYC To Tel Aviv For $282 Round-Trip For Kids And $352 Round-Trip For Adults!

Prem economy is not a bad deal on this flight 🙂

Did anyone get anything for and of June/July?

Can you cancel?

Got 7/15-7/29, two adults and two kids: $2174.40

I just read that they are going out of business ifor so will I get refund?

@Israel Devries:
Your credit card should cover you.
AMEX may be best if you’re worried.

just booked 12 seats for our family and my sisters family.

@Chaim:
Nice!

Lag boimer for $542 (or maybe less)

MOSCOW, December 21. /TASS/. Russia’s second largest airline, Transaero has turned to the government and to creditors for aid. It says debts may compel it to ground all of its jets already before the New Year holidays, two separate sources familiar with the situation told TASS.

I am getting no search results … is it dead already?

does it work for may? this deal doesnt seem to be working for shavuos time.

ty

@hershel:
Yup, lots of other cheap dates.

@Emma:
Your credit card will cover you.

@yehudaj:
Alive and well.

@b:
The cheapest dates seem to end in April.

its not routing me to cheapoair im still on kayak. what am i doing wrong

Which airline group are they? Any way to get status?

Where you most likely have a problem is if you get to Israel and THEN airline goes bankrupt. I doubt another airline will accept ticket at THAT price!

does this work for pesach dates?

Searched the week before Pesach returning the week after. No combination less than $584

Is there anyway to use chase points?

Just booked for the summer: 7/29-> 8/16 for 1267.20. That’s 633.60 a ticket! Thanks DAN!!!

I tried 3/25-4/15 and I got the cheap rate but when I click it it gives me double the price

Ugh. No June dates… 🙁

Can u cancel

@dan-I booked a flight but forgot to choose kosher meals and seats is there anyway to change that

@ben:
Read the post.

@Ben:
Call CheapOAir or Transaero.

I’m trying to book for an unborn child. Is it possible to make up name and DOB then change it later is that an option? What do ppl do in this situation?

בארץ אומרים שהחברה עומדת בפני קריסה

@EMCC
Their program called Privilege is not really affiliated with other airlines,
and besides that this is a special NET FARE ticket or you may call it ‘BULK’ and this gives you a lot of restrictions

any credit card offer cancellation insurance that would not need to be a medical condition…?

i booked this for 383 total. Is it risky to arrive back to ny 12:15 pm? (shabbos is at 6)
Depart:
Mon, Jan 05, 2015
02:25 pm – 01:50 pm (+1 day) (1 Stop)

Return:
Fri, Jan 09, 2015
12:55 am – 12:15 pm (1 Stop)

How can I order tickets ??

@yanky:
I’ve heard of people using the first name “Infant” and fixing it later, but YMMV.

@דב:
That’s what credit cards are for.

@schneury:
No.

@H:
It’s a bit risky.

the flights coming from tel aviv to new york have very long stop over times, not great for seminary girls or yeshiva boys

$542 for Lag Bu’Oimer

@db:
I saw dates with the 3-4 hour stopovers each way.

@Thanks Dans:
Enjoy!

@nava kvital:

A) Leave your Credit Card info here and SSN and someone can book for you
B) Read the post?

@FT: that’s not funny there are lots of stupid people here

only finding really long stopovers for all dates posted???

@yanky, we did that with ElAl, they told us to write the first name “Baby” with our last name, and use the due date as the birthday.
I think once the baby was born we called them and edited the info- or maybe we didn’t even need to.

can i canacle using kayak

Tried for the 14th-21st – available on kayak but not when I put in all my info to cheap o air

Seems dead to me. Got the Transaero price on Kayak, however when it re-directs me to cheapOair it only gives me Turkish airlines for $1251

Are there any flights from Dallas?

@eli: so get a visa and check out the beautiful mother land

Dan, you referenced AMEX as a good card to have as insurance (in case airline folds or flights are involuntarily cancelled)… Any other cards (i.e. Chase Ink, etc.)? I have a Costco AMEX but unsure if they have that trip protection policy

is anything for 08/15

Got from 2/25 to 3/1 $734.60 2 adults.
Tnx

kayak is not offering cheapoair as an option??????

Is it still available? Not working

They are telling me my baby has to be 2 years old or older to book her a ticket.

will this result in any foreign transaction fee?

Premium Economy is also very cheap

Does the sapphire preferred cover cancellation if someone is pregnant and has to stay home due to any complication? Flights will be around the 28 week mark

whats the best place to get insurance for the flight in case i need to cancel down the line?

The flight you selected is unavailable
(Your credit card has not been charged)?????

Just booked for Purim, March, 1-9 for only 382! Thanks Dan

What is cancelation cost from 4-24 hours?

How do I book her a seat if she won’t be 2 at the time of the flight?

Looking forward to establish business with your company

@db:
Just say she’s 2, nobody will care.

Im not seeing it or this price. i selected the dates available then went to kayak then cheapoair. what am i doing wrong?

I tried nearly every suggested date on top, entered cc info on cheapoair after being redirected and then got the same message that the flight is no longer avail. is this deal still working? am i doing something wrong?

What r pesach dates?

Hi do you have any offers for this week still ?

trying to bookfor April 1st to April 26-28. cheapest fare i get is 613

@ daberk93…how did you go about booking for Purim(March1-9), those the exact dates I would like to travel…I tried but I don’t get the same price nor do I get the link to cheapoair

on the itinerary it says most tickets are non refundable/ cant cancel. How would you go about canceling within 4 hours?
Thanks

Any idea what the luggage allowance is?

Just spoke to one of my Amex credit cards. They do not cover (won’t get money back) if an airline goes bankrupt.

looking for these exact dates, but not getting same price
also not getting the link to cheapoair??

@Chanie:
You can easily dispute the charge.

I did it when Skybus went belly-up, had no problem winning the dispute.

Your booking is confirmed. Your tickets are being processed right now. This may take 30 minutes or more, after which you’ll be able to select your seats.

It says it the flight is $383 but when I click in it it shows $644

is it still available?…getting much higher prices

Did anyone flew with this airline before?

can someone please clarify to me

if i take a longer stopover, which includes an overnight stay in moscow, do i MUST have a visa? or can i just stay the night in the airport?

Whats Kayak ?

@aryeh: what dates??

@Chanie: They don’t “cover it” as in travel insurance but it’s a standard credit card dispute for “product/services not received” i.e. you paid for it but didn’t get it. Technically you only have 60 days from the statement date that the charge appears on but most credit cards will cover you within a few months. Amex is very good with disputes that’s why Dan suggested using your Amex card. Enjoy Israel! (and Russia!)

Did anyone flew with this airline?

@shmuli: not sure but maybe check kayak.com 🙂

The price of your flight has changed from $367.30 to $1092.30.
Got that a few times…

can someone please clarify for me.

if i book a flight with an overnight stopover in moscow, do i MUST get a visa, or can i stay the night in the airport?

you can stay in the airport, you cant leave the airport.

I would like to buy 3 ticket to Isreal

I think what I wanted is all gone3-11 3-18

Please note that your purchase will be complete only after the ticket has been issued, and during this time period, the fares are subject to change and may increase. In the rare event fares increase, you may opt to cancel your booking at no cost to you.

Trying to book a flight, Kayak is not directing me to CheapOair??

Costs $25 per person when cancelled after 4 hours

I need 15 tickets, ten adults five children for the dates 4/01 – 4/26-28. If anyone finds anything that works under 500 let me know. I couldn’t find anything.

worked for 1/28-2/11

I see the price 368 for 4 Adults but when I change to to 2 adults and 2 children it jumps. Why?

@Child Seat:
Just buy the kids as adults. Birthdays don’t show up on tickets anyway.

Is it 2 pcs of luggage?

@Dan: Tried that, but then when you enter their birthdays it says it needs to be over 12 yrs

@mo for this price its worth it, i did it a few years ago, my plane had no entertainment but the plane worked and the crew were nice @zalman u can stay in the airport but its usually hot,crowded,and not enough sitting area…. wouldnt recommend doing it..

Are they still available? Can someone help me?

@Sir:
Yes.

@Child Seat:
With BA my daughter has been known to be born in 1913 instead of 2013 😉

thanks Dan. Just booked tickets for my wife’s sisters wedding in February. Our family of four cost $1,123.94 round trip. Longest layover is 4.25

@dan: thanks dan! me and my family goin $550, not so cheap but good enough!!!:):)

When I search for 3 seats for the date I want it gives me 367 but when i add in a 4th seat for my baby (lap or seat) prices shoots up. Could I book now and add him as a lap baby for free later?

So my ticket was just confirmed (about 7 hours from purchase time to ticket confirmation). The NYC-TLV legs are in premium economy class the flight back in tourist class. Happy to share this deal with everyone! Now I get to vote in the election and not spend a grand on flights!

Is this a safe airline?

I’m looking to book from the first Wednesday of February till the second Wednesday of February on kayaks website it states three seats still available when I hit book and redirects me to cheapoairs website it says That fear is no longer available. Any ideas?

@shmuli: a boat?

@zalman:
You can stay in the airport if you want like sitting on the benches or checking into a lounge, but you can’t stay in a hotel in the airport (if that’s what you mean) That’s already requiring you to go through customs which needs a visa.

I just booked 1/21-1/28 it showed the correct price but after booking it said ”
The price of your flight has changed from $367.30 to $1092.30″

Jan 18 – Jan 21 is sold out

Thanks, Dan just booked 4 tickets for lag ba’omer for 2 adults & 2 kids 1880.40 total!!!! So excited to make an Upsherin in Meron

i booked thru airfare is that ok?

Hi Dan,

It says there is a 14 hr stop over. I am booking for dates between 3/25-4/14

It directed me to orbitz not cheap o air btw

Thank you

What dates still alive?

Dan-What is better for booking with a shakey airline, amex starwood or chase sapphire preffered?

FF20 will take $20 off

Dan, what is better for trip coverage for the concerns for this airline, chase sapphire preferred, or amex starwood?

Is the deal still on? the cheapest i get is $811! Is it working for leaving next week already?

i have read the whole thing. will this take the price down if i buy tickets departing from LA?

I think you maybe able to use this code to get off $50 FF50

is this dead?

dead?

Just booked Feb 4-11 for avg of 466 a piece. Wasn’t available before so I recommend you keep checking throughout the day in case they become available (as everyone who booked dozens of seats cancel)

Thank you @Dan!

How difficult is it to use sapphire cancelation insurance? Do I need a doctors letter?
And if the airline goes broke will that be covered by the insurance?

is the deal stil sam price from monteal go to isreal 282 dollars

FYI,
http://itar-tass.com/en/economy/768329

i actually booked for for $580 each, but i think i was the last of the batch, now all is over $600

am I nuts for booking with a 13/14 hour stopover?

should i get a russian visa? what should i do in airport?
do you think if i call cheapoair they would change my connection?

@ari:
@ari:

what were ur dates of ur 10 tickets?

If the airline goes bust when you get to Israel you may be covered by your credit card for the cost but who’s paying to get you home?

I treid to do September 20th to October 5th and it won’t work even when I try to change the dates.

@Ploni: That’s correct. That had to me when Tower Air when under in 2002. I had flown 1 way on a round trip ticket. I disputed the charge with the credit card. I got half the money back as they flew me 1 way. I did need to pay extra to buy a 1 way ticket back to TLV.

@Ploni:
you’re ink card will cover this expense.

@moish: Eric Snowdon found what to do for days in the airport I’m sure you can manage for a half a day. I believe this airport may have a transit hotel in the airport (so that you don’t need to pass through immigration) so you can look into that if you want.

When I booked they told me I have till 1159 tonight to cancel w/o penalty is that true?

@Dan:
why did you suggest using chase sapphire and not chase ink?

Does sukkos work??

thank you thank you Dan!!!I BH got 4 tickets for 1558
It says premium economy is that their way of saying reg economy?

Got 2 tickets for $382 each roundtrip from NYC to tel aviv In January

@dan: cheapoair not reliable!!!!

Trying to book certain dates, but not going through, says tickets not available, called up and said its all sold out

its UN safe to fly to Russia with this shaky airline .take your risk financially and you might get stock in Moscow forever…

Trying for 2/18-2/25 dates coming up for $352 after entering all info it tells me flight sold out. Tried twice same thing.

How long is it taking you guys to get a response email? I booked 10 minutes ago and have yet to receive any confirmation of any sort..

feb 4 to feb 11 not available anymore (if you overbooked please cancel now, ty)

just checked with Barclay arrival +,
i can dispute if the airlines closed down
i booked Bez”h via KAYAK for lag boimer $573
they said its pending but now i received a ticket number BH

$2691 for family of 6 (ok, includes one lap infant – but still!) 6/18 – 8/23 FROM TLV!
Thanks Dan!
P.S. booked on Expedia – kayak sent me there.

error page not found

What if they go bankrupt while I’m in israel

@avi thats a nice long vacation. what do you do for a living?lol

@Samy:
Brilliant way for Israel to get lots of Americans to make aliyah 😀

In all seriousness, usually other airlines will take stranded passengers of a closed down airline on a standby basis.
Worst case is that you need to use miles or find a mileage broker for a cheap one-way.

But the odds of them closing on just the week that you happen to travel are rather small.

@eli:
Seems like people have been getting confirmed into premium economy with this deal, go figure 🙂

@holo: Miles broker 😉

FYI, anyone interested in seeing Moscow at all, I booked my wife and I for Fri – Wed Tel Aviv, Wed – Sat Moscow, return to NYC Sat and it was $544 per person.

I booked 3 tickets 4 hours ago and it is still not confirmed. Does it take so long to be confirmed and ticketed?

Whoops, I forgot to include dates. May 1st departure, May 6th back to Moscow, May 9th back to NYC.

Hey Dan! what is better for trip coverage for the concerns for this airline, chase sapphire preferred, or amex starwood?

sound like transearo’s website is donw

My son booked one of these for LAg Bomer at $575 for premium economy…..BUT a word of caution

http://itar-tass.com/en/economy/768329

It looks pretty scary for the finances of the company
and they just got some govt help to stay in business.

I have skin in the game so am not just peeing on the parade.

http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4606398,00.html

CAUTION!!!
Israeli news website says they towards bankruptcy! be careful

Is this dead? Its redirecting me to airfare.com, and showing much higher price

How do I get directed this this deal in kayak?

@Jeff: If you’re a US Citizen you need to arrange a visa in advance in order to “see Moscow”

If i purchase these tickets and take the v travel insurance will the insurance cover putting me on another flight if the airline goes bust?

Direct link to book.

@tova plaut:

i always get insurance and have for the ticket i got here. the insurance will help refunding the ticket if bankrupt but not getting you on another flight. another part of the insurance should help with that.

@Anonymous:
Just about any credit card will refund if the airline goes BK, so need for insurance just for that.

System failure

@Dan’s the Man: this is not correct!!!! i traveled with transaero several times there is NOTHING to do in the airport, its a tiny airport & they only have regular seats & you can NOT get out from that section

Just booked 2 tickets march 18-29 for 752.2 via airfare.com cancelable till 11:59pm tonight

On SPG

Just tried booking a few different dates. it looks like it is sold out.

Thanks Dan Just booked for Lag Ba’omer, and got a confirmation already.

You don’t need a Visa if you stay in Russia less then 24 hours.

Booked through SkyScanner directed to Tripsta.net – from Israel to NY for Pesach. Still live.

Is the offer still valid???

will this work for one way for after Pesach?

is this a glitch or not?

Booked 2 adults and 2 kids for $490 TLV to JFK, 3/30-4/15

@Anonymous: You think they don’t have any lounges? 🙂

@David Zeidman: The 24 hours is if you’re staying in the airport “in transit”. You won’t be able to leave the airport if you don’t have a visa.

@chuchem: you can always book a round trip and just not use the second leg.

@David:
Alive and well.

Rosh chodesh iyar- Rosh chodesh av- $401.80

@Dan’s the Man: nopes not in the transit/transfer area

is it still working because not letting me book

Thanks so much Dan. I was able to get a ticket first thing today. Looking now for another and searched many dates in Jan Feb. Is anything.still available? Should I only go through kayak?

@H: Candle lighting in NY is at like 4:27

How do I know what class my tickets were booked in?

Its showing that it available. but when I put in my info it says sold out

@talia: Book with a credit card that covers that. Most will. You could also buy a travel protection when you book.

@Dan: Abe Says:

December 22nd, 2014 at 11:14 am
I’m looking to book from the first Wednesday of February till the second Wednesday of February ie 2/4-2/11 on kayaks website it states three seats still available when I hit book and redirects me to cheapoairs website it says That fear is no longer available after inserting all info including credit card information. Any ideas?

Is this thread still alive Dan?

Any deals left for pesach ?

Dead!!!

I am having trouble with the secuirty check

Had to book two separate one way tix to get the trip I needed to bring my son home for pesach
Came out to around $600

Thanks Dan:
how do i choose a sit? also, anyone tried this $50 offer?

Transaero does not give you the option if selecting seats AT ALL
Even if kayak or cheapoair will tell you that you selected those seats they don’t mean anything
I flew with transaero a few times don’t expect to recieve any service AT ALL if you are used to travel wíh delta or united or even with elal you will feel yourself going back to the late 1990..

Booked 400 round trip but have a 13 hour layover each way

@Anonymous: doesn’t premium mean anything? it seems from website that it is a economy plus type of seat.

@Boruch: you wish at transaero the seats are ALL the same besides the business class are a bit bigger seats but again these seats are from the late 1990’s, so what can you expect

@Aryeh: what are you going to do there for 13 hours??? There is NOTHING to do in that transfer area besides seeing some transaero airplanes , from my experience to did a big mistake

@Dan’s the Man: We did it several times. They put us up in a hotel because it was a long layover. But that was their fault. Don’t know if they’d do it otherwise. They put guards on us and didn’t allow us out of our floor. Heaven forbid we should want to stay in their country. Place was decent, though.
Warning to all: The Russian staff do not speak English!!

@Boruch: It means the first few rows in economy which have a tiny bit more leg room. Maybe the seat is marginally bigger too. People were fighting for the seats last time I went and I didn’t see much of a difference.

@Dan’s the Man: NO THEY DONT THEY DO HAVE A LOUNGE

I booked 3 tickets yesterday around 11 am through Kayak which took me to CheapOair. I got confirmation that I ordered the tickets, but nothing yet to tell me the booking has gone through /ticketed.
Should I be concerned?

Cheapoair is now saying they this was a fare error on the part of Transaero and they are not booking any flights until further notice. I decided I want to extend my stay and just booked again on Kayak but am waiting for confirmation before cancelling Cheapoair booking. Is this alive or dead?

@Raphael Hirsch: Not a price mistake, but (according to a press release) a deliberate slash of fuel charges by the airline to make its tickets “more affordable.” http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/transaero-airlines-makes-its-tickets-more-affordable-286654461.html

I live in Ramat Eshkol and am interested in renting out my apartment for Pesach, available whole month of Nissan. It is a beautiful apartment, 2 bedroom and very central on Paran, next door to all shopping area. Please message me and we can negotiate.

crcohen1@gmail.com

@Moshe: i know quite a few guys that did said it was ok

Does anyone know if these prices are still relevant? @EJB:

I am so excited. Tickets in the summer are so expensive. I got 820 to leave on a Sunday. Going to Russia makes my fast shorter (it’s a nidcheh anyway.) I could have bought 800, but 20 bux for an extra day was worth it. Taking Aeroloft. Heard decent things about it.
Also got 367 for less than a month from now. TransEuro. Hope the company doesn’t go out of business before my trip. If the transfer is late (I have 3.5 layover in Moscow, will trip insurance help? I think I will bring a Russian/English dictionary.

just booked at about 450 each for family of six. Still relevant

can someone please post a link where to book the tickets i cant find them!!!

@Dan’s the Man:
You do NOT NEED a Visa. This is a recent law, read the link at the CIBT page or giyf. You can leave the airport and there is lots to do in Moscow!

Btw. if you have an Israeli passport, you anyways do not need a visa to Russia, up to 30 days iirc.

Bon Voyage!Замечательная поездка!

@Mo:
No, noone flew with this airline yet, until now they only flew cats and cargo. 😛

is this still working? cant find any date in jan or feb that work for this price

@devorah:

is this still working?
i can`t find any date in jan or feb

Does anyone know if you need a visa to leave the airport for a under 24 hour stopover? I have been reading mixed comments on this forum. However, I am pretty sure you are not allowed out. Anyone know the cost for a one-day transit visa?

Also, does anyone know The luggage policy for transaero?

DAN,
I can’t find those prices. Is it possible that it’s not available anymore? Can you just run a quick check and let us know? Maybe I’m doing something wrong.
I am looking at the exact dates you mentioned in your article, for example Jan 21-28. Tel Aviv to NY, the prices I get on Kayak are $610 with Aeroflot (Transaero start at $646), and on cheapOair it’s $626. If you can email me your reply (in case I loose this article) I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
