Note on Air travel to and
from North America
To
To give participants maximum flexibility with their schedule, we ask each participant
to purchase and pay for their own air travel. Please do this AFTER we confirm
that the trip has a minimum subscription. These tours occur during or near peak
season in Asia. For winter trips, we hope we can confirm minimum subscription
by July, in order for you to buy air tickets at good prices.
In past years Nancy and I have used Eva Air www.evaair.com, a Taiwan-based airline
started by Evergreen Shipping Company which flies worldwide. I have used their
"Evergreen Deluxe" Class service which is close to business Class
in terms of "stretch out” space, and costs a bit more than coach
class.
Some of our tour participants use a travel agent to book their flight. Another
option is to use a discount broker. If you do use the latter, and there are
many on the web, be aware discount brokers are not meant to be a full service
agencies. They work quickly. Quoted air fares can change daily. Check all details
provided carefully.
Also, note that: MOST DISCOUNTER TICKETS CANNOT BE CHANGED OR IF THEY CAN, ONLY
WITH A HEAVY PENALTY.
CAUTION: ONLY USE THE NAME THAT APPEARS IN YOUR PASSPORT FOR ALL WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE
WITH THIS OR ANY TRAVEL AGENCY.
