The US will evacuate Americans in Israel by sea

27. I suggest you read the letter

It specifically talks about the cost being limited to a full fare economy ticket as priced prior to the crisis.

You can rail about capitalism, but companies aren’t going to do this for free, nor should they. The government will pay what isn’t covered by any reimbursement.

I have no issue if the government wants to pick up the whole bill, but I also don’t see it as a huge burden on the evacuees, since they would have had to buy a ticket to come home has none of this happened.

As I said, this not life changing money…it’s a plane ticket. And the government isn’t evacuating them back to the US - they’re being evacuated to other, safer locations, and from there they will need to make their own travel arrangements.

***edited to add: one way flight from Haifa to Cyprus in June of this year was $249. Also added info about where they’re being evacuated to.
