Why Tel Aviv is on our origin list, and why you won't see it advertised

Scroll to the bottom of the origin dropdown and you'll find Tel Aviv sitting last, after 12 US airports. It's a real, working origin — but it isn't part of the actual market decision behind the other 12, and we'd rather say so plainly than let it look like a quiet expansion plan.

The honest reason it's there

Tel Aviv was added for a small group of family and friends there to use the live site as informal design partners — real product feedback from real users, nothing more strategic than that. It runs through the exact same pipeline as every other non-JFK origin: hourly-fetched, 24-hour-delayed, no special treatment.

"Unobvious," not hidden

This is a public site with a public repository — there's no way to make an origin genuinely secret, and we wouldn't try to. Placing it last in every dropdown and leaving it out of any marketing copy is about not implying a market decision that hasn't been made, not about concealment.

What it isn't

Don't read this as a signal that international expansion is coming. The 12 US origins remain the real decision; Tel Aviv is a testing convenience for one relationship. One honest caveat while we're at it: prices for Tel Aviv are still fetched and shown in USD, fine for informal testing but not what a real Israeli-market launch would actually look like.
