What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Tel Aviv or Amman for December 23 to 25, 2026, round trips of 3 to 6 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Check the current security situation; celebrations have been scaled back in some years.
- Foreign visitors pass the checkpoint with a passport; hire a Bethlehem taxi on the far side.
- Ben Gurion is about an hour by road to the Bethlehem checkpoint; from Amman it is a long day via the King Hussein bridge crossing.
