I'm looking for a travel agent who can get me a steal deal for tickets to Eretz Yisroel by looking for stopovers that are cheaper. Someone who knows how to search.
A few years ago a fellow Ima recommended a travel agent who got us tickets that were a few hundred dollars cheaper since the flight started in Baltimore. So we traveled to Baltimore and saved a few hundred dollars per ticket.
Would you know of anyone? Thanks!

You can search yourself on https://www.kiwi.com/en/

Put in any location you’re willing to fly from, any dates you will consider, and it will find you incredible deals - including ones where you need to use multiple airlines or long stopovers.

Fat chance of you getting any steal deals to Israel right now. People are beyond desperate to go and are paying exorbitant amounts.

With a few stops can be done for under $500. (Check for Friday travel issues)

I wouldn’t recommend this option for anyone traveling with kids and/or an inexperienced traveler.

Agreed! These are not for the faint of heart. But it CAN be done!

Op said tickets so I’m assuming she’s not a lone backpacker

Would you consider an overnight stopover or two day stopover in Europe?

How and where? I don't want to say where but we're getting to a very small place in America and we spend a lot on our tickets. We only booked a few days ago but I'm still looking for one more ticket for someone in my family that has to go a different day so I would love to see what options there are. It also needs to be an upgraded seat so the prices I got were tripled up.
