6 ppl traveling, from east coast US, all old enough to need seats, so 6 plane tickets. We don't have family to stay with so would need paid accommodation. Would go during not such a peak time to save on costs. We also don't require fancy experiences or tours etc. We want to go because it's Eretz Yisrael, our kids have never been and we want to show it to them. Is this at all possible or a pipe dream?

I don't think it's possible to do for 15K. Food & travel/touring costs add up.

Plane tickets alone would cost you that amount or more

To keep costs down you would need to stay somewhere really cheap, not eat out, take public transportation, and do low cost activities. If you get really cheap tickets I think it's doable.

Not necessarily. I am flying direct in a few weeks and got tickets for $1400 (x6 is $8400). If you are are willing to have a stop over, it will probably be less.

A rental and food will cost. Not sure how much. Also depends how long you plan to stay.

I am also dreaming and need for 6 people. If I get points for tickets how much would a week cost?

Look on Google flights. Some dates are $1.5k a ticket. That’s $7.5k. An Airbnb for $300/night for 7 nights, say, is $2k. Rental car for IDK, $1k? $4.5k to eat and entertain a family for a week sounds perfectly manageable…?

We did this 6 years ago with four people. Tickets were under $1000 back then (we didn’t have to fly el al). We were also able to get a beautiful but tiny apt - one bedroom with beds in the living room. We spent around 10k and didn’t feel like we had to be cheap at all. But I wonder if it’s possible now with prices having gone up so much.

My sister went in the summer with her Family. Five people total. They stayed for 2 1/2 weeks in yerushalayim. They did eat out by Family for most suppers and the occasional lunch as well as shabbosim. they stayed in an apartment in romema. They mostly did free activities and took public transportation. Total costs were $8.5k

How far off? I have been working on this goal for 1.5 years and now flying my family for 6 free through credit card points worth $8,300.

If you get fair priced plane tickets and really cheap place to stay.
You will not have much money though for food and travel....
You don't really need to do paid attractions can focus on mekomos hakdoshem. Free beaches etc... and use public transportation but it still adds up pretty quickly

I'm talking 9-12 months from now. I don't need a fancy apt and I don't plan to do any expensive experiences, mainly just mekomos kedoshim, hikes, etc.
