Preparation

Special travel plans

For a full group

Group Leaders may request alternate flight and/or land travel arrangements for their entire group. The group may fly before the start of tour or stay behind after the tour ends, and any additional travel costs would be added to each traveller’s balance. Group Leaders should make any group alternate travel requests with their Tour Consultant before their first enrollment.

For an individual traveller

Individuals who would like to request a different flight itinerary from the rest of the group must submit a Special Travel Request at least 120 days before departure. Special travel plans include: staying behind after the tour ends, flying into (or out of) a different domestic gateway or making one’s own flight arrangements entirely.

Special Travel Requests cannot be confirmed until the group’s tour and dates are confirmed approximately 70 days before departure. Travellers should not book any flights or make separate arrangements until they receive this confirmation. Please note that travellers with alternate travel plans from their group are likely to fly separately from the group on all legs of their journey.

Travellers younger than 15 years old are not permitted to book individual special travel plans unless accompanied by an adult travelling on the tour.

Travellers can make their request by filling out a Special Travel Request form through their online account. To get access to the online form, please call our Traveller Support team at
1-800-263-2806.

For full terms, please review our  Booking Conditions.
