Frankfurt am Main, May 8, 2026. EL AL today announced the launch of ticket sales for nonstop flights to two new destinations in the airline's growing route network: Seoul (South Korea) and Buenos Aires (Argentina). This follows earlier company announcements regarding the introduction of these routes.

Flights to Seoul will commence in March 2027 and will operate three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings using the airline's modern Dreamliner aircraft, which feature three service classes. Fares start at 1,199 US dollars for a round-trip Economy Class LITE ticket.

Concurrently, EL AL today opens ticket sales for the nonstop service to Buenos Aires, marking a significant milestone in the airline's expansion into South America. The route will launch in November with two weekly flights on Sundays and Tuesdays. Dreamliner aircraft will also be used for this service. Prices start at 1,349 US dollars for a round-trip Economy Class Classic ticket.

With a flight duration of over 16 hours, the flight to Buenos Aires is the longest offered by EL AL. It also represents the first direct connection between Israel and the South American continent in over ten years.

Tickets are available on the EL AL website or through travel agencies.

Shlomi Zafrany, VP Commerce and Sales at EL AL, states: “The launch of ticket sales for these two destinations is part of a comprehensive expansion of EL AL's route network. As part of this initiative, the airline recently announced a series of new destinations in Asia, Europe, and South America, thereby continuing to strengthen Israel's connection to global centers of tourism, business, and Jewish communities worldwide.”
