Saving Money On Air Transportation. . .
Prices quoted, unless otherwise stated, include group discounted
airfare for departing from and returning to Salt Lake City.
However, if you do not wish MHA to provide this air transportation, we offer a
credit off your tour price. There are various
reasons why you may want to do this:
1. Maybe you can fly free because of flying miles credits,
you or your spouse work for an airline, etc. Even if you have to fly in the night before to be there
in time it would be worth it. A night of motel costs a lot less than the
airfare you would have paid. If there are more than one of you
sharing the motel room you really save a lot!.
2. You live far from Salt Lake City and after taking
the air discount you can save money by purchasing your own tickets directly to where the tour begins.
Or you may live within driving distance of the airport where the tour is
arriving.
3. You cannot get away when the tour starts but wish to
join it later.
4. A group of ten or more of you are traveling together
from a distant place. We can arrange for a group discount if ten or more are flying together
from the same city.
For such people 65 and over, it is worth checking with Southwest Airlines
(800-433-5368). They offer attractive discount fares for senior citizens.
For example, suppose you are from southern California and wish to do tour II
which flies into Kansas City and returns from Omaha. They charge only
$258 to do this from LAX. By the time you take the flying credit, you are
paying only $106 more for the tour than if you departed from SLC.
In any case, if you arrange your own air transportation, it is
your responsibility to:
1. Tell us when you register so that we don't purchase an air
ticket for you.
2. Inform us of airline, flight number, and times of
your arrival and departure so our bus can pick you up.
3. Unless otherwise arranged, meet our flight when it arrives
or be on the charter bus waiting for us at the airport.
4. Check in with the tour director so that he (she) knows you
have arrived!
