What TLV to LTN looks like
The TLV to LTN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Tel Aviv TLV to London LTN is a long haul sector of 3,601 km by great circle, flown nonstop 4 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,601 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 50m.
Tel Aviv TLV is a large airport in the network held here, 110 scheduled destinations and 275.3 departures a day. London LTN has 169 destinations and 228.8 departures a day.
London is 2 hours behind of Tel Aviv all year.
The pair sits between Europe and the Middle East, a corridor where the site already publishes 66 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on TLV to LTN from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV to LTN | 4.02 | 28.1 | El Al, Israir Airlines, Wizz Air UK, Delta Air Lines |
| LTN to TLV | 3.86 | 27 | El Al, Israir Airlines, Wizz Air UK |
4 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 4 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 55.2 departures a week on TLV to LTN, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 4h 50m block time on TLV to LTN. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to TLV | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At TLV before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |

| Formalities at LTN | 90 min | 10h 50m |
| Delivery run in London | 45 min | 11h 35m |
| Door to door | 695 min | 11h 35m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for TLV to LTN is 11h 35m.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 42 of them join TLV to LTN.
| Connecting at | TLV to hub, flights a day | Hub to LTN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Larnaca LCA | 18.72 | 1.23 | 3,627 | 6h 28m |
| Sofia SOF | 3 | 1.86 | 3,609 | 6h 36m |
| Bratislava BTS | 1 | 0.86 | 3,649 | 6h 40m |
| Bourgas BOJ | 2.79 | 1.29 | 3,669 | 6h 41m |
| Varna VAR | 2.29 | 0.86 | 3,698 | 6h 44m |
| Belgrade BEG | 0.57 | 0.86 | 3,612 | 6h 52m |
With 4 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
42 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Larnaca LCA, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through LCA the routing covers 3,627 km against the 3,601 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 28m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 38m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Sofia SOF at 6h 36m and Bratislava BTS at 6h 40m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Tel Aviv, Amman AMM is 109 km away by great circle and carries 72 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves London, London STN is 41 km away by great circle and carries 218 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for TLV to LTN in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
