Best and easiest way to fly from Australia to Tel Aviv, with Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong

WE'RE WANTING TO TRAVEL TO ISRAEL AT EASTER VIA THE MOST PAINLESS ROUTE BUT, OF COURSE, THE CARRIERS THAT STOP IN THE MIDDLE EASTERN GULF STATES DON'T OPERATE TO TEL AVIV. IS THERE A ONE-STOP FLIGHT? D. BARNES, CANBERRA

Cathay Pacific will begin operating four flights a week between Hong Kong and Tel Aviv from March 26, 2017, several weeks before Easter. El Al also operates a service on this route but the Cathay Pacific service will mesh more closely with the airline's flights from Australia, meaning a shorter overall travel time. Another plus, Cathay will use new A350-900 aircraft for its Tel Aviv flights and that's a beautiful way to fly.
