Frequently asked questions from the September 24 Information Session
What
is
the
final
date
that
the
trip
must
be
paid
in
full?
Travelers
on
the
manual
payment
plan,
must
pay
off
their
balance
110
days
before
the
tour.
Travelers
on
the
automatic
payment
plan,
have
until
30
days
before
the
tour
to
pay
off
their
balances
Can
families
buy
additional
medical
insurance
overseas?
EF
Tours
offer
the
Global
Travel
Protection.
If
they
would
like
to
purchase
additional
insurance,
that
is
up
to
them.
What
is
recommended
for
additional
expenses
and
travel
money:
credit
card,
traveler's
checks
or
cash?
Travelers
checks
do
not
work
over
sees.
Students
use
cash,
debit
or
credit
cards.
However,
they
must
consult
with
their
banks
on
whether
their
card
is
accepted
internationally
and
will
have
to
notify
them
of
their
dates
of
travel
so
their
cards
do
not
get
canceled.
If
the
students
get
more
donations
than
the
trip
cost
does
the
student
get
that
extra
money
for
spending?
If
the
students
receive
donations
over
the
tour
donation
page
and
it
exceeds
their
balance,
then
they
will
receive
a
refund
check
for
the
negative
balance.
It
will
be
mailed
to
their
home
address.
What
about
students
with
food
allergies
with
regards
to
meals
such
as
breakfast
and
dinner?
Before
our
tour,
we
will
collect
Health
and
Medical
forms
that
include
a
section
on
allergies
and
dietary
restrictions.
I
will
inform
EF
Tours
of
any
dietary
restrictions
or
allergies
and
they
will
then
import
the
information
into
their
system
so
they
can
arrange
the
meals
accordingly.
