Please note, as soon as your flights are booked you must notify us with your flight details, so we can arrange for you to be picked up (flight number and airline are very important in case your flight is delayed, our staff then knows what time you will be arriving). You may need to wait for several participants to arrive before the group leaves the airport. Please be aware that the Saturday morning 11:00 is departure time. We do not offer drop to the airport or any other location at the end of the participant’s program due to the many different personal plans and return flight times that participants have.
