Booking Your International Flights
Tips for Cheap Airfare:
-
Start your search at Hipmunk and
Farecompare (they list the airlines and fares for your intended travel dates).
- Buy your tickets far in advance.
- Buy your tickets on a Tuesday or Wednesday (this means your purchase date, not your travel date).
- Don't buy your tickets on Saturday or Sunday (again, your purchase date, not your travel date).
- Call the airlines directly (the airlines do not always have the cheapest fares online for international fares).
Discounted Airfare with "Fly For Good"
Founded by international volunteers, Fly For Good
negotiates airfare discounts of 10% to 25% off the published rate for non-profits (like Cosmic Volunteers), their family members and their volunteers.
Here's how it works:
- Book your flights via Fly For Good’s website.
- Fill out a form at their website with basic details about your volunteer trip (including the fact that you're going abroad with Cosmic Volunteers).
- Cosmic Volunteers will then send you a letter confirming your participation in our programs.
- Present this letter when checking-in at the airport.
