Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) is Israel’s primary international gateway and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and regional flights, serving traditional flag carriers alongside many European and Middle Eastern airlines. It sits about 20–25 km southeast of central Tel Aviv–Yafo, with travel times to the city center usually around 20–40 minutes by Train (~15–25 ILS), taxi (~30–60 ILS) or shuttle/bus (~20–45 minutes, fares lower). Security and passenger facilities are generally comprehensive, making it a comfortable option for international connections, though peak periods can be busy and immigration queues may add time. Ramon Airport (ETM), farther south near Eilat, is primarily for domestic and some seasonal international services and can be a budget-friendly alternative for southbound itineraries, but it is considerably farther from Tel Aviv and usually requires an internal flight or lengthy ground transfer.

San Francisco International (SFO) is the region’s primary international hub, typically handling long-haul and legacy carriers as well as many global alliances; it can be pricier than smaller nearby airports but offers the widest route choice. The airport sits about 13 miles (21 km) south of downtown San Francisco and is usually reached by BART in roughly 30–35 minutes (fares commonly around $10–12), by airport shuttle or taxi in 25–45 minutes (variable fares), and by app-based rideshares. SFO’s strengths are comprehensive international connections, extensive ground transport and full-service amenities; downsides can include busy terminals and occasional longer security or transfer times. For budget-sensitive travelers, nearby Oakland (OAK) and San Jose (SJC) can sometimes offer cheaper or low-cost-carrier options with different access trade-offs.
