Alternate Return Dates and Cities

AIFS is able to arrange alternate return flights for students wishing to extend their stay or leave from a different European city. Please note that students must leave from and return to the same U.S. city.

Alternate Return Date
For return dates other than the scheduled program return date(s), an additional fee of $100 must be submitted with the application. The alternate return date option does not apply to the China or Russia programs.

Alternate Return City
Changes in return city cost between $125 and $275 (see below). Alternate return city selections must be marked on the application and cannot be made after tickets are issued. The alternate return city option does not apply to the Argentina, Australia, China, India, Russia or South Africa programs. Students wishing to change both their return city and date, must pay the $100 return date fee plus the relevant return city fee from the following chart:
