Travel & Accommodation

We’re so excited to celebrate our wedding with you in beautiful Portugal! To help make your trip as smooth as possible, we’ve put together travel tips for those coming from New York, Ireland, and beyond. Our home base for the wedding festivities will be in Vale do Lobo, and we recommend staying either in Vale do Lobo or Quinta do Lago—they’re essentially the same area and only about a 5–10 minute Uber ride apart. We’ll be spending time in both locations throughout the week, and all of the events—including the wedding day and the celebrations before and after—will take place within easy reach of both. Staying nearby will make it easy (and much more fun!) to be part of everything we have planned.

Flight

Getting to Portugal from New York

Direct to Faro (FAO) United Airlines is offering a seasonal nonstop flight from Newark (EWR) to Faro (FAO)—a convenient option for guests traveling from the New York area. The flight operates Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Via Lisbon (LIS) TAP Air Portugal offers multiple daily nonstop flights from both JFK and Newark to Lisbon (LIS). From Lisbon, you can take a quick 1-hour domestic flight to Faro, enjoy a 3-hour scenic train ride (“Comboios de Portugal” for schedules and tickets), or rent a car at Lisbon Airport for a 2.5-hour drive to Faro. Via Dublin (DUB) Fly from JFK to Dublin with Aer Lingus, connect to Faro on Aer Lingus or Ryanair Via London (LHR or LGW) Fly from JFK to London Heathrow or Gatwick with British Airways and connect to Faro via British Airways, easyJet, or Ryanair
