Round Trip Airfare

Flight arrangements
Students must indicate on the application their intention either to take an AIFS flight or to provide their own transportation to and from the program and pay the “land only” fee listed. Students who select a program that includes a London stopover and who provide their own transportation may also participate in the London stopover, but must make their own way to and from the hotel in London and to campus, unless otherwise stated in the program chapter. Those who do not wish to participate in the London stopover are ineligible for a stopover rebate and are responsible for making their own way to campus by the scheduled program start date. Students changing from an AIFS flight to their own transportation prior to 75 days before departure pay a $100 change fee; less than 75 days prior to departure students are subject to a $200 penalty. Students who initially intended to provide their own transportation to and from the program may apply for a seat on AIFS flights subject to the following terms: 1) prior to 75 days before departure provided space is available; a $100 change fee is charged and 2) within 75 days before departure provided space is available; subject to a $200 penalty. Students changing from one departure city to another prior to 75 days before departure pay a $100 change fee for each change; within 75 days of departure students are subject to a $200 penalty in addition to any application fare differential provided space is available. For changes to return flights, refer to “Alternate return dates and cities.”

Students are sent their final itinerary approximately two weeks before departure. Students on extended personal travel before the start of the program should contact the Stamford office for itinerary information.

Airline tickets
If you have opted for the AIFS transportation package, where permitted by the airline, you will be issued with an electronic ticket. Once confirmed, details of your flight information will be available to you on the AIFS website at www.aifsabroad.com/login. You can check here at any time to get your flight information, but should make a final check just prior to your departure. A detailed itinerary will be mailed to your home address approximately two weeks prior to departure. Your airline ticket will also be mailed to you at this time, providing all fees have been paid and your medical form has been received. If you will not be at your home address at this time, notify AIFS in writing of your new address. Tickets are shipped via UPS and require a signature upon receipt (they cannot be sent to a P.O. Box number).
