FLIGHTS - ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE TIMING:
Arrival: Please plan to arrive at the hotel and be checked in around 5:00 pm on Sunday, April 26, which will allow time to get settled before our official opening dinner later that evening. An early to mid-afternoon arrival at Ben Gurion Airport is ideal, though not required, and guests arriving on later afternoon flights should still be able to make dinner.

Departure: Group transportation to Ben Gurion Airport will be provided after the closing dinner on Sunday, May 3 (ending around 8:00–9:00 pm). Late-night or early-morning flights work best. El Al flights to the U.S. West Coast typically depart between approximately 11:30 pm and 1:30 am; please pay close attention to the departure date when booking around midnight.
