How does the security at the airport work? | Chai Tourism & Hospitality

Leaving your home country:

Arrive at the international terminal of your local airport 3 hours before departure.
The safety and protection of you and your fellow passengers are top priority and therefore you can expect routine security checks.
Some of the questions that you may be asked:

** Have you been to Israel before

** Who packed your bags

** Since packing your bags have they been out of your sight at any time

** Has anyone handed you a package to take along

** Is everything in your luggage owned by you

** Are you traveling on your own or in a group

** Do you have family in Israel

** Where will you be staying

These questions are being asked for your protection. Be honest at all times. Say yes or no.

CHAI TIP – Do not accept any packages or unknown items from anyone before or after arriving at the airport.
