Airfare and trip insurance
(see also separate “Travel Preparations” sheet for more information)
- For an LAX departure, airfare runs from $400-$550 and sometimes less if you shop around
- It is best to plan departures from Sunday through Thursday since they tend to be cheaper – we would be happy to help you with the appropriate dates to travel for your trip so that it will “fit” well with the itinerary that we will be planning for you. Please let us know BEFORE you book your flight in order to avoid unnecessary penalties.
- There is an additional departure tax charged at the airport before you get your return ticket. It costs $26/person.
- Trip insurance – contact your current insurance provider and ask for a trip coverage for your team – it is very reasonable. Or you can checkout MEDEX online for quotes, www.MedExAssist.com
