Tickets

Rotary Ticket Rules All students must have an open round trip ticket, which is good for one year from the first date of travel. All students must travel directly to the hosting country with no visitation stops en route. All students must travel on a confirmed basis…absolutely no standby type tickets are allowed. Wholesalers and consolidators may not be used for purchasing tickets. IYWT Tickets We issue tickets that are valid and reliable at the end of your exchange. Our tickets are valid 365 days from the original date of travel. The return date is changeable with no fee based on availability. Group travel Valid for one year Changeable return date It is our goal to find the least expensive fare and the easiest itinerary, keeping the above rules in mind. We negotiate with the airlines all year long for air fares that will allow a stay of up to one year. These fares are great values and usually allow you to travel to your host country with other students. We try to coordinate the travel of as many students as possible, not only for greater cost savings, but also for the sake of the students, who may be on their first trip. It’s more fun to travel with others and usually cheaper too. Connection Times You may have a long connection time of 3 to 5 hours in your flight itinerary. Why? In the past, many students missed their international group flight due to short connection times, weather, mechanical problems, traffic flow delays, etc. We usually try to allow for a backup flight and extra connection time for theses reasons. Return Information After your departure, your return information will be emailed to you and your parents sometime in December or January. We automatically book a return date for you that is approximately 11 months from your departure date. Return date changes should be finalized by the end of February.
