Frequently Asked Questions

• How far in advance do I need to buy my ticket?
  
  Both international and domestic tickets are better when purchased in advance, not only to get a good price. You will get a better flight (connection) in most cases for international travel 3-6 months in advance and for domestic tickets 2-4 weeks in advance. Advance purchase is recommended.
  
  
• Do I need a passport to travel?
  
  Yes, for any international travel out of the United States you need a valid passport.
  
  
• What about a visa?
  
  Since each country has its own rules and regulations about obtaining a visa, we recommend you contact the embassy directly to find out whether you need a visa or not. For embassies addresses and locations please visit www.embassyworld.com.
  
  
• Do I need insurance?
  
  Yes, we strongly recommend you buy travel insurance since most tickets are nonrefundable once purchased, and if you need medical coverage while you are traveling it's a good idea to have insurance. To learn more please visit www.travelguard.com.
