Now, another country will be added to the list of countries that will soon be open to travelers. Starting at the end of May, Continue reading Israel Is Opening To Vaccinated Travelers At The End Of May
Since signing up for T-Mobile around a year back we’ve really enjoyed the free Netflix subscription.
Netflix makes lots of people happy by offering excellent original programming and some solid movie options. However, the streaming service just managed to piss off the country of Jordan. Continue reading Netflix Pisses Jordanians Off, Filmed Amman Street As Israel
Last week, history was made when Saudi Arabia opened commercial airspace to Air India for a new route from New Delhi to Tel Aviv.
While this was an interesting development, (considering Saudi Arabia doesn’t recognize Israel as a country) one airline isn’t happy about the new arrangement. Continue reading El Al Suing Israeli Government Due To Air India Flights

In early 2015 I wrote about discrimination at JFK Airport due to a passenger having an Israeli passport.
A quick recap of what happened: a woman with an Israeli passport was flying with her husband who has an American passport. The couple was supposed to fly on Kuwait Airways to London but the airline would not let her fly due to her Israeli passport.

The couple sued Kuwait Airways for discrimination. Continue reading US Says Kuwait Airways Discriminated

Now in a bizarre piece of airline news, Saudi Arabian Airlines has cancelled its contract with a Portuguese company called Hi Fly which leases planes to the airline.
The offense: getting “an off-duty Saudi Arabian Airlines plane” serviced at an Israeli airport! Continue reading Saudia Airlines Plane Serviced in Israel, Cancels Contract w/ Holding Company
