Air Transportation

Airlines concerned are not to be held responsible for any act, omission or event during the time passengers are not on board their planes or conveyances. Limitations and liability of international air carriers are contained on the reverse side of airline tickets. The passage contract in use by these companies when issued shall constitute the sole contract between the companies and the purchaser of these tours and/or passage.

Luggage

Students will be informed of weight allowance in a travel package provided in May. This information is subject to change.

Excess baggage costs are the responsibility of the students. Luggage travels at the risk of the passenger and Global Journeys Inc. is not responsible for any delay, loss or damage to it or its contents. Our staff will however assist students in communicating with the airlines while in transit should an issue arise.

Travel Documentation

A valid passport is essential with an expiry date of at least 6 months beyond the end date of the program. It is the sole responsibility of the registered student to have appropriate travel documentation. Visas in some instances will be required and you will be informed accordingly by Global Journeys.

Deviations to Flight Itineraries

We ask that students fly with the group to their destination, however if you are planning alternative arrangements please note:

You must call Global Journeys to discuss options regarding deviation to group flights. Any deviation request must then be directed to Global Journeys in writing via email, fax or mail no later than March 31st, 2012. Requested changes will be confirmed in writing by Global Journeys and until that time they are deemed tentative.

The minimum fee charged by airlines to alter group flights is $200 and this amount may increase based on program flight, airline and dates requested. You will be informed of costs prior to any changes made.

Deviations to group tickets involves an extension of your stay (change of return dates).  You must fly home from the same city as per original group ticket and cannot be rerouted through another city.

Should you choose not to fly with the group on both the outgoing flights and incoming flights we can assist you with a separate ticket if you wish, and your program fee will be reduced - accordingly. Streetsville Travel Service can also assist with flights for parents to coincide with student's flights.

Please call our office for details.
