Getting Started

Booking Flights

Unless otherwise stated, the Center for Global Study and Engagement does not arrange group flights. Students are responsible for booking their own airfare. For students who are participating in a Dickinson program, they will be given a timeframe in which they should plan to arrive and depart. Students should not purchase their flights until instructed to do so by the CGSE and/or on-site staff. Students on partner programs programs will receive information from their program provider about how and when to book their flights. We encourage students to carefully review the change fees and cancellation policies before booking a flight.

The following is a list of travel agents and websites students have used in the past. This list is not exhaustive, and the Center for Global Study and Engagement does not endorse any particular travel agent or booking website.

If students have questions about booking flights, they are encouraged to reach out to the CGSE and/or their program provider.

A few tips!

  • Check baggage allowances for your airline. You will be charged for additional luggage and luggage over the weight restriction. This is just another reason not to overpack! 

  • Arrive early for your flight – at least 3 hours for an international flight and 2 hours for a domestic flight.  

  • If your flight is delayed or cancelled inform the on-site staff
