This is one of the lowest nonstop business class fares that I’ve ever seen from JFK to Tel Aviv.
Israel remains closed to most foreign nationals unless they receive special permission to fly to Israel or travel as part of an organized group. Israel plans to open their borders to vaccinated tourists in the near future, though details have yet to be announced.
This fare is not refundable. You can make free changes to any other American flight, though the difference in fare will be owed.

Oct 12 – March 29 is with a stop.
I see this fear is a bit of a bad omen on AA success on this route… I hope they stick around
If this were in normal times, this would be a death knell.
But these aren’t normal times and I think they’re invested in waiting for a return to normal times.
Israel plans to open their borders to vaccinated tourists in the near future, though details have yet to be announced.
any more details you can share?
Given the news about US allowing vaxxed pax I expect the rest of the world to follow soon enough
Israel is not opening any time soon!
110K miles in business class is avail from MIA on some dates in 2021
