The availability of this deal is good until the end of June. You should be able to find several discounted connections every month.

Routing & aircraft types

Usually, flights on short and medium-haul routes are operated with smaller jets, e.g., from the Airbus A320 family. At least in Europe, these aircraft are not equipped with special business seats; instead, only the middle seat is kept free. However, there are exceptions from time to time.

The Zurich – Tel Aviv route is served twice daily by Swiss. The airline operates mainly Airbus A330 and Airbus A340 and, to some extent, Boeing 777 on this route. Of course, you should check this before booking.

Search & Book

According to the fare rules, tickets will be sold until January 11th. But cheap seats may sell out earlier, or the airline could decide to stop the offer. So don’t wait too long.

The offer is valid for trips commencing between January 15th and June 30th, 2020. We’ve been able to find good availability during the whole promotion period, except for April. Unfortunately, the time around Easter seems to be excluded. Minimum stay requirements are six days or the night from Saturday to Sunday.

We recommend using Google Flights (instructions) to find the dates that work best for you. Also, the tool will allow you to check which aircraft type will be used on your route. You will find the long-haul business class only on Swiss Boeing 777, Airbus A330 and A340!

You can book your flights directly on Swiss.com. Alternatively, use our Travel Dealz flight search to save a little extra. In general, we always recommend the first option.

Info

Please be sure to check the aircraft type before booking! Also, other carriers – such as Lufthansa – might offer the same route for less money. But they won’t be operating long-haul business class.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

Tickets are issued in booking class P. Almost all Star Alliance frequent flyer programs credit at leat 100% of your travel distance in award miles. Your base output withouth tier bonuses for a trip from Prague shall look like this:
