ATTENTION - IMPORTANT NOTICES:
- THE INITIAL DATE* SHOWN is the Rendezvous Date for your particular trip. It is on this date, at or before 5PM, that you must assemble with the other pilgrims in the Arrivals Hall at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV). NOTE: after your plane touches down (about 3:30pm latest) and you have disembarked, you will proceed through Immigration, then the Luggage Carousels and finally through the GREEN passageway for Customs (Nothing to Declare) before you emerge into the Arrivals Hall. Please allow about 45 to 60 minutes from the time of your flight arrival to the time you are able to appear in the Arrivals Hall of the airport where we will all gather. You will enter Arrivals Hall and veer to your right. You are looking for Exit #24 which is to your right. It is just inside this exit door where we will gather at the tables and chairs and wait for everyone to assemble. When the whole group is assembled, we will use Exit #24 and depart together on our tour bus for the Dead Sea. Please print out the Emergency Phone Numbers page in the PILGRIMS area of this website and keep it with you during your travels, in case of emergency.
- PILGRIMS FLYING IN FROM NORTH AMERICA: Due to time zone changes, trans Atlantic flight duration and making international connections, you should consult your travel agent and plan your journey to allow at least one extra day for travel. Plan to leave home at least one full day prior to the Rendezvous Date in order to arrive in Tel Aviv on time and allow enough time for immigration and luggage pick up prior to meeting the rest of the Pilgrims in the Arrivals Hall.
- NOTE: DO NOT BOOK YOUR FLIGHTS for any given pilgrimage before you receive the "GO AHEAD" from Fifth Gospel Encounters Staff. We must confirm that the pilgrimage is viable before releasing you to commit to airline tickets. We will advise you.
