The group said farewell to their home in Jerusalem, the Knights’ Palace and departed for the airport in the middle of the night. They arrived very early at the Ben Gurion, Tel Aviv airport and prepared for departure.
Hussam accompanied the group to the check-in desk where they also met our assistant Boris to assist them with departure. After the security checks they relaxed and waited to board their flight to Vienna. After a slight delay the flight departed at 7:05 AM (GMT +2) and arrived in Vienna at 10:02 AM (GMT+1).
