Yallah! Israel families will register with our Group Travel partner to secure a spot on the program’s group flight, as well as arrange any domestic travel and deviations, if applicable.

Group flight FAQs

How do i secure a spot on the group flight?

All enrolled families will receive a link in the confirmation email (subject: Welcome to Yallah! Israel) to the Yallah! Israel booking center with Traveland.

Parents/guardians should select the appropriate program for your teen to ensure a spot on the correct group flight.

Is there an additional cost for the group flight?

No! All international group flight costs are included in the total program cost listed on your Yallah! Israel registration.

Can i make special requests for my teen ?

Yes! If your teen requires a special meal due to any dietary restrictions (such as vegetarian, gluten-free), you should indicate this on your group flight registration.

A specific seat can also be requested but is not guaranteed. This is up to the airline and usually requires a medical reason (such as a torn ACL). An additional fee may apply.

Are group flights escorted by Yallah! Israel chaperones?

Yes! Each group flight is escorted by at least one Yallah! Israel chaperone. Only group flights are chaperoned.

Will there be representatives at the group's gateway airport?

Yes! Representatives from Yallah! Israel and our Group Travel partner will meet the group flights at the airport, and the flights will have Yallah! Israel chaperone(s) accompany the group from security in the North American thru customs in Poland/Israel.

Domestic flight FAQs

How does my teen get to the Gateway Airport if we are not from the area?

We strongly recommend families use our Group Travel partner to book domestic flights. Domestic flights will be booked from the domestic airport that you have requested on your registration to the group’s international gateway airport. Our travel partner will email you more information and a potential itinerary beginning in early 2025. Nothing will be booked without your written approval. Our travel partner will find potential itineraries arriving at your international gateway airport no later than 5 1/2 hours prior to departure. Our travel partner also makes sure back-up flights are available in case your domestic flight gets canceled.

If you choose to book your own domestic flight independently, outside of our travel partner, you are doing so at your own risk and will be responsible for any travel logistics or expense resulting from a delayed or cancelled flight.

Is there an additional cost for domestic flights?

Yes, you are responsible for the cost of your domestic flight.

Our travel partner will make sure to select the most budget friendly domestic flights for you. Once the domestic flight itinerary is approved, families will pay our travel partner directly via debit/credit card.

My teen is coming with a friend and/or camp group. Can we coordinate domestic flights?

Yes! Our travel partner will look to book teens coming from the same area on the same domestic flight itinerary. Please note, this is subject to space availability and cost.

Deviations (alternate flight arrangement) FAQs

What is a deviation?

When the traveler wishes to deviate their itinerary by departing or returning on different dates, or cities other than what the group is booked on.

Is there a deviation fee?

Yes, our travel partner changes a $100.00 deviation fee. Additional airfare may apply and will be calculated at the time of reservation.

WILL MY TEEN BE ACCOMPANIED ON THEIR DEVIATED FLIGHT?

No, only scheduled group flights are accompanied by a Yallah! Israel chaperone. If your teen is flying to or from the program separate from the group, you will be required to submit the Yallah! Israel Unaccompanied Minor Authorization form. Please note, this is not the same as an airline’s unaccompanied minor policy. For most airlines, passengers 15-17 years old do not are not required to pay their unaccompanied minor fee.

HOW WILL MY TEEN GET TO/FROM THE GROUP?

The Yallah! Israel team will coordinate on-the-ground logistics with you directly. We take timing of the group flight, the deviated flight, and group location into account when determining the best way to get your teen from or to the airport for their flight. Additional fees may apply if taxi’s and/or additional staff are needed.
