Prepare to Travel


Know before you go

Whether you're on your first trip or you are a seasoned travel veteran, "know before you go". Check on your destination for travel alerts. Verify your flight information on the airlines website. Stay in contact with your group before you head out the door. Know your meet up location and make sure your group has up to date trip information.


Early is better than late

For all travelers flying in a group Fly My Group recommends arriving to your departing airport at least 2 hours before scheduled departure. Depending on time of year, local holidays, and other events, groups may want to arrive more than 2 hours prior to departure.


Luggage information

Each carrier has their own set of baggage requirements for domestic and international travel. Click here for the links to each carriers baggage policies.


Plan ahead

Sticking to the plan of arriving early to the airport means planning ahead. Think about traffic on your way to the airport. Is it rush hour? Are you traveling on a weekend? Does your trip land on a holiday? Or is it a popular spring break time for many schools and universities? Going through these questions is the best solution to avoid travel problems.


Packing

Make sure you check the weather of your destination in advance so you know what to pack. Keep in mind, weather can be unpredictable!


Stay in contact

When traveling domestically or overseas, it is essential that you stay connected with your friends and family back home.


Do your homework

When traveling internationally do your homework on the culture that you will be in. Respecting and understanding other cultures will help ensure a safe and memorable trip.
