AACI greeter at the Ben Gurion Airport:
I forgot to mention that we had a wonderful "young man" from the AACI-Association of Americans and Canadians in Israel meet us at the airport office of the Absorption Ministry. This fine gentleman spoke wonderful English and Hebrew (he made Aliyah in 1971 from the USA). His assistance to us in completing the paperwork at the airport was invaluable. He even made sure that we arrived at the appropriate car rental counter in the airport, which was no easy task. We had made reservations with a car rental company, that no longer did business at the airport! Our AACI volunteer took us to another car rental agency desk and procured a great rate for us in Hebrew. Without his help, I'm sure we would still be walking in circles around the Ben Gurion airport trying to figure out where to pick-up our car that didn't exist! We were so impressed with our AACI representative that we joined the same week.
So there is another great example of why you should avail yourself of the resources at the airport when you arrive on your Aliyah flight! Note that we did not take an NBN organized flight. All of these resources are automatically arranged for your family, IF you take the NBN organized flight. If you choose to fly separately from the organized flight, then you have to be sure that NBN has arranged for these services to be available upon your arrival.
