| What about the flights?
All of our packages (excluding Florida packages) include round
trip air transportation. In the majority of cases, this transportation
is via charter flights. Contrary to popular belief, a charter flight
does not mean a small plane! It simply means that the aircraft is
being rented by a tour company to fly a specific route for a private
group. If you fly on our charter packages, you will be with hundreds
of other spring breakers on the flight. All charters are on jet
planes and most aircraft carry between 150 and 250 people.
When you fly on one of our charter packages, you will not know your
flight times when you reserve. You will be told the exact flight
times and day of departure approximately ten days before your spring
break. Your trip is guaranteed and your flight times will be some
time on the Friday, Saturday or Sunday of your departure weekend.
If you are scheduled to leave on a Friday, then you will return
the following Friday. If you are scheduled to leave on a Saturday,
then you will return the following Saturday. The same is true for
Sunday departures.
Charter flights often have delays of several hours. They are perfectly
safe, but tend to be more susceptible to schedule changes and delays.
If you are not comfortable with this or need to know your flight
times when you reserve, you can try our scheduled air option.
With scheduled air service, you will know your flight times when
you reserve. Your flights will be on a major airline such as Continental
Airlines or USAirways. At this time, we only have scheduled flights
listed from New York to Cancun, New York to Nassau and New York
to Acapulco. You will be able to see these flights as an option
if you try to make a reservation on this website. The cost for scheduled
service versus charter is approximately $50.
We do offer scheduled air service from other cities, but you must
request it. You can email details to info@vagabondtours.com or you
may request the info by making a reservation and requesting scheduled
flights in the comments area.
