Delta Air Lines issued a travel advisory and waiver for Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV) following a Houthi missile strike outside this morning.
The waiver is in effect now through Sunday, May 11. Tickets must be rebooked by Saturday, May 31. Rebooked travel must commence no later than Saturday, May 31, as well. Here’s the waiver’s official page on Delta.com.
Quick Update: Delta canceled its New York-Kennedy (JFK) to TLV flight for Monday, May 5.
Any applicable fare differences should be waived, provided you rebook in the originally ticketed cabin of service (i.e., Main Cabin). You’ll be on the hook for a fare difference if you rebook in a different cabin.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the waiver is extended.
The Houthis said that they are working on imposing a “comprehensive air blockade” on Israel by repeatedly targeting the country’s airports after three people were mildly wounded from a missile they fired at Ben-Gurion Airport.https://t.co/RVvM22UUmw

Be Proactive
If you’re concerned, you might want to start making flight changes now before the ticketing lines (phone and in-person) get especially busy.
Remember that airlines generally don’t pay for any expenses (hotels, meals, ground transport, etc.) for terror attacks, war, etc.
Contact Delta Air Lines for Rebooking Help
If you have questions or need to rebook travel, contact Delta Air Lines directly (not “Delta Airlines”) or the provider through whom you originally purchased travel.
