Getting there

This program is in the New York (JFK) area, so there’s no flight to plan.

Newark (EWR) has nonstops from Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago O'Hare, Toronto, London Heathrow, Paris (Charles de Gaulle and Orly) and Tel Aviv. Stewart (SWF) had no flights from any of the hubs.

Almost everyone drives from the New York area; guests flying in land at a New York-area airport and drive about two hours.

Routes come from each airport’s published route list, checked October 2026. Flight times are estimates from the distance. Airlines change schedules, so confirm before you book (route list we used).

Safety and travel advisories

What governments say about travel to this country. Nothing here is this site’s own judgment.

Safety information for the United States

The US State Department does not publish an advisory for its own country. Other governments do publish advice for visitors, and local police departments publish crime figures for their own cities.

This is the governments’ own wording, not a rating by this site. Israel’s National Security Council also publishes travel warnings for Israelis abroad. Ask the operator what security the program itself arranges, such as guards and entry checks.
