The lack of charge can make a significant difference ... Passengers travelling with a bicycle get 20 extra kilos above the baggage allowance at no extra cost. Cyclists simply have to inform travel agents when making the flight reservation and the cycle needs to be encased."</em></p> <p><em>"Uri Danor, EL AL’s Chief Executive, UK, Ireland and Northern Europe, said: 'We are delighted to be able to support those who want to cycle in Israel by not charging them for bringing their own bikes or (sic) by providing meaningful discounts on bike rental'."</em> </p>
