Frequently Asked Questions
When should I purchase airline tickets?
JBU strongly recommends waiting to purchase your airfare until the minimum number of guests have registered for this tour, which we should know by April 1, 2024. This is in order to avoid penalties and fees imposed by the airlines should changes occur. JBU will notify you once this number has been reached and are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding airfare.
What is the baggage allowance?
For international flights, you are generally allowed one checked bag and one carry-on at no additional cost, with the following parameters: up to 50 pounds and 62 inches (L+W+D) for checked bag and up to 40 pounds and 45 inches (L+W+D) for carry-on. Baggage restrictions often vary by airline. It is important to refer to the airline’s international baggage regulations prior to packing, as these can change without notice.
Due to bus size and included porterage, we can only allow one checked bag and one small carry-on item.
