High season is considered to be May, June and July. The cheapest month to fly from the United States is January.

The cheapest time to visit Israel is typically during the winter low season, specifically in January and early February. During these months, demand for international travel drops significantly after the December holiday rush, leading to much lower prices for flights and hotel stays. While the weather is cooler and there is a higher chance of rain (especially in Jerusalem), it remains mild enough for comfortable sightseeing, and major landmarks are far less crowded. Travelers can often find significant discounts on group tours and luxury accommodations during this window. It is important to avoid major Jewish holidays like Passover or Sukkot, as well as the Christmas/New Year period, as prices spike dramatically during these festive times regardless of the weather.
