Round Trip Airfare

Round trip airfare from a wide choice of cities is included for AIFS programs. The following programs also provide a 2-day visit to London: Cannes, Florence, Granada, Grenoble, Paris, Prague, Rome, Salamanca, Salzburg and St. Petersburg. To qualify for inclusive flights, students must meet application and payment deadlines.

Students who select a program that includes a visit to London and who provide their own transportation may also participate in the 2-day visit to London. Those who provide their own transportation but do not wish to participate in the visit to London are ineligible for a rebate and are responsible for making their own way to campus by scheduled program start dates.

Full-year students are entitled to one round trip flight included in the “with flight fee” returning on the scheduled return date for the spring semester. Full year students wishing to use their return ticket at the end of the fall semester may purchase an additional round trip flight to return to campus for spring semester through AIFS. Interested students should contact their Admissions Officer.

Students failing to request flights upon application and/or meet deadlines will be required to pay a late transportation fee of $250 with any subsequent written flight request or make their own travel arrangements at their expense. Subsequent flight changes are subject to applicable fees. Availability of seats on flights is not guaranteed by the late fee, and students may be required to pay a fare differential.

Students who miss an AIFS flight due to illness or due to a delay in receiving a student visa are responsible for any related flight change and ticketing fees.

Airport Transfers
Transfers to and from campus are included for students who have booked their flights with AIFS, but only on the arrival/departure dates and from the local airport as indicated in the program-specific catalog chapters. Transfer from the arrival airport to campus is not included for students who miss their AIFS flight on the scheduled departure date and arrive at a different airport and/or on a date other than the scheduled arrival date and arrival city (including rescheduled flights booked through AIFS). Students who miss their flight must arrange their own transportation from the arrival airport to campus and incur all consequent costs. This includes, but is not limited to, students who miss an AIFS flight due to illness or due to a delay in receiving a student visa.

Students who are scheduled to depart the U.S. on an AIFS flight that is cancelled or delayed due to inclement weather or airline-mechanical reasons will be met abroad and transferred to campus. Airport transfers are not included for students who make their own travel arrangements.

Argentina and Australia
Whether students make their own flight arrangements or through AIFS, they will be transferred to and from campus, but only on the arrival/departure dates and from the local airport as indicated in the catalog chapters.
