Flight
Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) OR Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP)

NY/NJ travelers: There are three non-stop flights a day leaving from JFK serviced by American Airlines and Delta. Maine travelers: There are one stop and two stop flights leaving from Portland serviced by American Airlines and Delta. For savings, we recommend airlines such as LATAM and Aerolinas Argentinas.

Transportation
There are multiple options for transportation from Ezeiza to your hotel or airbnb! If you'd like to book your taxi ahead of your flight, you can pre-book via https://buenos-aires-international-airport.com/transportation/. Uber is also available in Buenos Aires. Additionally, upon arrival at Ezeiza, you'll find many kiosks where you can book transportation. Taxis are also available, but do not accept credit cards. Additional resource: We are working with a travel agent, named Victoria, who can assist you in booking private transportation with an english speaking driver. If this is something that you prefer, you can reach out to her directly at victoria@gft.com.ar. Please title the email "Rabadan/Rockwell Wedding - Transportation".
Travel Note
$$$
Argentina operates with two currency exchange rates: the official rate, and the "Dolar Turista" rate, which is offered to all tourists traveling to Argentina. As of July 2024, the official rate stands at 1 USD to 921 pesos. However, by using a Mastercard or VISA, you can get the dolar turista exchange rate which is closer to 1 USD to 1,300 pesos. American Express is excluded from this rate. Additionally, we recommend carrying cash and exchanging it at Western Union branches, as you may need Argentinian pesos to tip. However, most places accept credit cards, again with the exception of American Express.

ACCOMODATIONS
We've curated a list of accommodation options in the neighborhoods Palermo, Recoleta, and Puerto Madero. The options we provided range from Airbnbs to boutique and larger hotels. The day of the wedding, we'll have a meet-up location in Recoleta. From there, buses will be picking up and taking you to the venue, which is about 45 minutes away.
House Or Rental
Airbnb
Please note that some Airbnb listings might not display availability if you're looking way ahead in November. If a place appears booked, we suggest that you message the host directly, as they may have availability. We put together a list of potential Airbnb choices for you, but feel free to explore outside of what we've provided here.
