EL AL & Air Canada Luggage Information


Baggage & Packing Information

You may bring a total of 2 bags with you on MBI

·      1 small day-pack/knap-sack in which you can carry personal items while hiking and traveling [plane carry-on size]

·      1 larger bag (i.e. mid-sized frame pack, duffel bag or small suitcase (wheels are good)) for all the remaining items you will need while traveling in Israel.  Keep in mind that you will be schlepping this bag a lot. 

·      El Al Airlines now charges $70 each way for a second checked bag. Habonim Dror will not pay for the second piece of luggage, if you choose to bring one. For your own convenience, pack lightly. All participants must be able to carry their own luggage.
