Return Travel Day Information and APIS Emails

Dear MBI Kaf Families, I am sending out this email with two important points. The first refers to emails that some of those who are part of the group flight itinerary received from El Al with the subject line "APIS Details". It is NOT necessary to respond to the APIS message from El Al. I double checked with our travel agent this morning and confirmed that El Al already has all of this information and those emails are being sent out in error. The second point for this message was to give out information about MBI's Return Travel Day. Sunday August 7

MBI Return Travel Day. Group Flight Details. There are 2 group flights home, one American and one Canadian. Canadian Group Return Information The Canadian group return flight is El Al flight 29. It is scheduled for takeoff from Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) at 12:50am on August 7 and scheduled for arrival in Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) at 6:20am on August 7. Josh Mann is going to be chaperoning this flight and when they arrive in Toronto, Talia Spear, our Mazkira Klalit (National Director) is going to be there to meet the whole group and help those making connections to get to their next flights. For Families that are planning on meeting their MBI-ers at the Toronto Airport, you should meet them outside of security/baggage claim in Terminal 3. Please aim to be there by no later than 7:30am. If you have any trouble finding the group or need to reach our staff on the day of travel, Talia's cellphone number is 347-257-2889.

It is now scheduled to depart at 12:30am on August 7 from Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) and scheduled to arrive at Newark Airport (EWR) at 5:40am on August 7. Itamar Landau is going to be chaperoning this flight, and myself as well as other office staff, will be at the airport upon their arrival. We will then be escorting those making connections to each of their next flights. For Families planning on meeting their MBI-ers at Newark, please meet us in the International Arrivals hall of Terminal B. Please aim to be there no later than 7:00am. If you have any trouble finding the group or need to be in touch with our staff that day, call the HDNA cell number 917-822-2330. For Families whose MBI-ers will be taking the bus down to Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Silver Spring. We are aiming to have the bus loaded and leaving the airport by 6:30am.
