Commonly Asked Questions

Recommended Flight Itineraries

LeadAbroad offers recommended group flight itineraries for every program. You can purchase a ticket on our recommended flight directly from the airline. Most flight recommendations originate out of Atlanta or New York City. If you begin your journey in another city, we suggest booking your flight with the recommended airline so that you have a layover that will connect you with the official itinerary recommendation. This way, all flights are on the same itinerary and ticket. If you decide not to purchase the group flight recommendation, you have the option to book your own itinerary that is most convenient for you. LeadAbroad will provide specific recommendations on arrival and departure times in order to line up your flights as close as possible to the recommended flight itinerary. This will allow you to take advantage of pre-arranged group transportation between the airport and program accommodations.
