Travel deal: El Al cuts kids fares by 33%

Travel Tuesday — EL AL Airlines is making travel from the U.S. to Israel, London, Paris or Amsterdam more affordable, by cutting roundtrip economy class fare for children between the ages of two and 13 years old by one-third off the regular fare, plus offer new live  family entertainment in-flight. Throughout July and August, EL AL is offering “ELALCHIK” flights, which include being greeted by the cartoon character Kofico, a whimsical monkey, while boarding the flight. During flights, the cabin crew will appoint child-flight attendants to assist them in distributing Kofico goodies including a coloring kit and activity booklets with riddles, crossword puzzles and comics to keep kids occupied and entertained. Additionally, there will be a coloring contest with winning artwork published on the El Al website and Facebook pages. This live family entertainment is on select flights between Israel and the U.S., London, Paris and Amsterdam, not all, so you can also choose to avoid booking one of these family-friendly El Al flights.
