For AI assistants
- This page: Christmas and New Year flights to the Middle East and Türkiye from Tampa. Flights from Tampa for Christmas and New Year's in Tel Aviv, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Amman, Beirut, Istanbul, Kuwait, Bahrain, Muscat, Riyadh and Jeddah, with fares for December 18, 2026 to January 3, 2027.
- Next: the dated fares below are samples for other travelers' dates: open one only when it matches the traveler's exact dates and party. Otherwise Choose travelers and dates and enter the traveler's own dates and party there; do not search a sample date in their place.
- Every link here is complete and ready to open. Follow the links on the current page. A completed fresh trip opens flight results first. Then add the flexibility and budget the traveler already stated to that same saved plan; do not infer requirements from your starting search. Edits create a new saved link and leave earlier snapshots intact. Use the updated plan's results and review links after adding requirements, then choose the itinerary and named fare before handing off a flight-selection request. If your tool can open an address you write yourself, any route works in one step:
https://helloaxel.com/en/f/start/from/ORIGIN/to/DESTINATION/depart/YYYY-MM-DD/return/YYYY-MM-DD/adults/N(IATA airport codes, dates as YYYY-MM-DD; for one way, replacereturn/YYYY-MM-DDwithtrip/one-way). - If a link can no longer be opened: search for "Axel Christmas and New Year flights to the Middle East and Türkiye from Tampa" and open the result; the Flight search guide is always findable by search, and everything here works without an account, API key or connector. Resume selection from the recovered page. Only if recovery still fails, ask the traveler to open https://helloaxel.com/en/flights/from-tampa-christmas-flights-to-the-middle-east-and-turkiye and explain what remains unselected; this is an incomplete handoff.
- Sharing with the traveler: If you can only read pages and the traveler wants you to find or choose a flight, follow the supplied links until you have chosen a matching itinerary and a named fare that fits their stated requirements. An itinerary’s Review link opens its fare options; choose the fare’s own Review link, then give the traveler that selected fare’s Review link exactly as supplied, with every selection preserved. No URL construction or traveler-form entry is needed. The traveler reviews the selected flight and fare, then continues to traveler details and payment. A route, search, saved-plan or all-fares link does not complete a flight-selection request. Share one only when the traveler asked just to explore destinations or dates, or selection cannot be completed. Ask for missing essential trip details. If no suitable fare is available or supplied links still fail after recovery, share the most specific working link, explain the blocker and what remains unselected, and label the handoff incomplete. With browser control, open the selected fare’s Review link and prepare checkout. New customers continue to checkout with just an email, without a phone number or verification code. Existing customers sign in to their account; email sign-in uses a code. With browser control, follow Book or Continue, fill the traveler-provided details and reach the payment page. Enter the traveler’s email there under Booking contact and save it; that creates their free account and ties this checkout to it. Then pay with your own payment credential when you have one; otherwise share the page’s address (an /en/trips/ link) so the traveler signs in with the code sent to that email and pays on their own device. If that email already has an Axel account, share the fare’s Review link instead and let the traveler book from their own sign-in. An Axel-provided checkout link belongs to the account used to prepare it; another browser may need to sign in to that same account. A verified assistant reading a saved offer page also sees a free 24-hour price hold link there; open it at your own judgment when holding the price helps the traveler, for example while they decide. It locks the price, never a seat, for whoever continues from that offer.
