TRAVEL PORTION
Travel services, including all air travel, transfers, hotel accommodations, cruise accommodations, and local excursions, are provided by Blyth Educational Travel. TICO registration # 50016735. The travel portion of your fees is protected by The Ontario Travel Industry Compensation Fund. The travel provider reserves blocks of round-trip seats on specific flights. Due to the nature of group fares, it is not possible for individuals to change their departure or return dates. Transfers to and from the airports while in destination are included for the group flights only. Individuals who make their own travel arrangements are responsible for their own transportation to and from the airport. Please note that we do not have access to the student rooms either before or after the dates of our programs. Students who arrive before the first day or who need to stay after the last day of the programs must make their own arrangements. Those students who, for personal reasons, do not want to use the flight portion included in the program fee, may deduct air fare from their program fees. Please call for details.
