I'd ask myself:
(1) Is this money I can lose? If the trip were cancelled, and you were unable to get any refund, how would it impact you financially?
(2) Weigh that against savings.
(3) Even if you are able to travel, there may be other restrictions. Some things may not be open, or may have limitations. Is it worthwhile for you to travel if that were the case?
Then weigh those things for you.
Remember that even if the vaccine has been introduced, and is effective, there is no way that it would have been rolled out to an extent that there is anything close to universal vaccination, so we're likely to be living in a hybrid world that is more open than now, but still has significant restrictions. |
Well, it’s too late. They booked already. She just wanted to know if people think the trip will be able to happen.

We have a very close wedding in February. The bride wants us to purchase tickets now that are cheap for $750 each. We can't take the risk for 2 tickets when we don't know what kind of world we are living in. We may have to skip this close wedding.

Do you definitely get no refund/credit? Some airlines are allowing refunds. Good luck and hope you get to the wedding! |
El Al is giving everybody a hard time.
We also don't know if we'll feel comfortable going in February. We don't know what the climate will be. We just are not in a position to plan in advance.

With this, you never know
In March we thought September would for sure be fine, now September is behind us and Israel is still closed to foreigners.

That seems difficult to schedule.
Even if you re allowed to come, as of now, people flying in from non-green countries have to quarantine for 2 weeks upon arrival. When scheduling your flight, keep in mind the possibility that such rules will still be in effect . It would be a shame to arrive and have to miss the wedding because you are stuck in mandatory quarantine.

Foreign nationals are allowed in :
For the birth of a grandchild
For the Bar/Bat Mitzva of a granchild
For the wedding of a child or sibling
For deathbed/funeral visits of those who one would sit shiva for
Student visa (arranged by the school)
Certain business interests
Thr visa needs to be arranged in advance and they are granted on an individual basis, which can sometimes mean a lot of paperwork. Start applying early, and when booking the flight take two weeks of bidud into account. For a birth the visa is granted up to thiry days before the expected due date.
