Flights to Las Vegas will depart Ben-Gurion on Fridays at 7 a.m., with return flights to Israel leaving on Saturdays at 10:45 p.m. The flight time will vary between 11 and 13 hours.

All flights will be on Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner aircraft with economy, premium and business class options. The plane can accommodate up to 330 passengers.

“In recent years, Las Vegas has become very attractive for the Israeli leisure travelers and also among the business sector due to the many conferences and exhibitions held in the city,” said El Al CEO Gonen Usishkin in a statement. “The nonstop flights to Las Vegas, with departures from Tel Aviv on Fridays and returning on Saturday night, are particularly attractive for the popular business-and-pleasure mix.”
