Travel To Guadalajara
For guests traveling to Guadalajara, we recommend flying into Guadalajara International Airport (GDL), officially known as Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla Guadalajara International Airport. This is the main airport serving Guadalajara and the best option for wedding weekend travel.
We recommend booking flights early and comparing options based on your departure city, budget, and preferred airline.
Traveling From El Paso:
For our guests traveling from the El Paso area, the easiest option may be to fly from Ciudad Juárez International Airport (CJS) directly to Guadalajara International Airport (GDL).
There are often direct flight options from Ciudad Juárez to Guadalajara, which may be more convenient and affordable than flying from El Paso with a connection. The two airlines with daily non-stops are Viva Aerobus and Volaris
Guests may also choose to fly out of El Paso International Airport (ELP), though flights from El Paso to Guadalajara will typically require a connection.
Please compare both CJS and ELP when booking your trip.

Airport Transportation & Ride Share
Guadalajara International Airport (GDL) is located outside the main city area, so guests should plan transportation from the airport to their hotel or Airbnb.
Rideshare services, airport taxis, and private transportation options are available in Guadalajara. For convenience, we recommend arranging transportation ahead of time or using a rideshare service once you arrive.
If you are staying in the Andares / Puerta de Hierro area, travel time from the airport may vary depending on traffic, so please plan accordingly.
More details about wedding weekend transportation will be shared closer to the wedding date.
Where to Stay
We kindly recommend that our guests stay in the Andares / Puerta de Hierro area of Guadalajara. This is one of the safest, most convenient, and most popular areas of the city, with many restaurants, cafés, shops, hotels, and nightlife nearby.
Staying in this area will also help us coordinate transportation throughout the wedding weekend, especially for guests traveling from El Paso and out of town.
For reference, Plaza Andares is the main landmark we recommend staying nearby. Staying in this area will also help make transportation and wedding weekend logistics easier for everyone.
Guests are welcome to stay wherever they feel most comfortable, but we strongly recommend booking near Andares for convenience.
