Extensions:

  • If you would like to extend your ticket, you may request it when signing up for your flight.
  • The deadline to request an extension is October 6.
  • The cost to extend is $50 PLUS any difference in fare between the group flight and the flight you are requesting. If your first choice is not available for $50, we will get back to you with other options.
  • If your extension request is available with no difference in fare, we will change your ticket and email it to you for confirmation and payment. You must respond within a day if a change needs to be made. Once we change your ticket, we lose the original seat. It might cost more to put you back on the original flight.
  • If you plan to travel with another student, you should preferably fill out your flight forms on the same day and add a note that you are traveling together.
  • Extensions will be issued on a first-come first-served basis, as the airline limits the number of tickets that may be extended. You can also change your ticket after it is issued; the cost will be $75+ any change in ticket fare.
  • If you are extending your trip we will respond within a week. If you do not hear from us please send an email to [email protected]
