International Travelers

If you’re flying in from outside the United States, the most common route is to book an international flight into a major U.S. hub such as Atlanta (ATL), Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), or Houston (IAH). From there, you can connect to Mobile (MOB) or Pensacola (PNS) for the shortest drive to Fairhope. Visa Tips: Most international guests will need a U.S. tourist visa (B-2) or an ESTA if eligible under the Visa Waiver Program (e.g., UK, Italy, Australia). Apply early—visa appointments can take time. Check official U.S. embassy or consulate websites for your country. Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. Keep a copy of your wedding invitation handy—it can help explain the purpose of your visit if asked by immigration officers. Tip: Consider booking multi-city itineraries or using airlines with strong U.S. partnerships (like Qantas, Emirates, British Airways, or Vietnam Airlines) for smoother connections. Car rentals are widely available at all major airports.
