Travel Note
• To get a direct flight to the island rather than have a layover in Lisbon, the departure choices were going to be either Boston or New York. Boston turns out to be the cheaper option. • I would recommend getting a cheap flight (Southwest is probably your best bet, if you can get it) to Boston early in the day on July 29. The flight to the island leaves in the evening, is about 4.5 hours direct, and overnight. Take off in Boston, wake up on the island on Friday, July 30! • I chose these dates so we can be there early enough before the wedding (Sunday). If you’d like to search different dates, maybe arriving on Saturday and leaving to go home earlier than August 5, feel free to look into it! Just keep us posted on what you decide! • I asked about group rates for flights and they really only apply for groups of 20+ people, all flying together, same dates, same airport, etc. so it wouldn’t really help us here. $560ish is a pretty great deal. Contact Sarah if you have any questions!
Rental Car
Renting cars is going to be our best option for getting around the island, going from airport to hotel and back, getting to the wedding venue, and for sightseeing. When we have a more definite headcount of attendees for the Azores, we will have a better idea of how many rentals cars we’ll need. Please make travel plans and RSVP as quickly as possible.
