Flights 101

Whether this is your child’s first time on a plane or their first time traveling without family, flying with their peers is a great way to kick off a journey of experiential learning together.

When will I receive my child’s flights?

You’ll receive their final flight information about 21 days before they leave.

Will my child’s flights be direct, or will they have layovers?

Groups can experience direct or connecting flights, depending on factors like the time of year and the airport they’re departing from.

What happens when they land?

Your child's group will be picked up at the terminal by their Tour Director, who will be their guide throughout the entire tour. In most cases, groups will be bussed right from the airport to the city center to begin exploring. However, if your group is traveling a significant distance (such as coast to coast), they will typically arrive the night before activities begin and go straight to the hotel to rest.

Relax and recharge on the bus

Every EF tour uses private, air-conditioned coach buses, whether travelers are headed across a city or across country lines. Bus rides are the perfect time for travelers to rest, connect with new friends, and take in all the sights as their Tour Director or an expert local guide narrates their journey.
