We are trying to make flight arrangements to Israel for that day. Most flights are sold out, and the remaining few are almost sold out with abnormally high prices. The day before and after is regular price, regular flights and regular seats.
What's going on?

Purim Katan?
Surprised it would have such a dramatic impact on seat availability...

On all airlines? And the only united direct flight available that day is at 1200?

Because you probably get PCR results by Friday and are out of bidud for the weekend. Feb 15 is Tuesday, a little early for a long weekend. The 17th means giving up on shabbos (and a delay in getting results) so it kills the idea of a long weekend.
