Flight To Paris, France
Participants on this trip have the option to fly overseas on our chaperoned flight that leaves in the evening from the New York area to Paris. Our leaders greet you at the airport and are with you from check-in onward. For the many travelers from outside the New York area, you can choose to join the chaperoned flight and we are happy to assist you with arranging connecting flights at suitable times into New York. You may also choose to meet us in Paris and we will help coordinate your flight times and greet you upon arrival.

Return Flight Home From Milan, Italy
For the 14-day trip return flight from Milan, our leaders help you to check-in and remain in the airport until flights in designated times have departed. They then remain in Italy for the duration of the longer 28-day program and chaperone that flight home. Depending on the number of students departing after 14 days, one staff may chaperone that flight as well.

Meals
Breakfasts in Europe are eaten at our hotels and served buffet style with a variety of options. For dinners, either the whole group goes to the same restaurant or we divide into smaller groups of your choosing with our staff. For lunch, you will enjoy eating in smaller groups and choosing from local cafés, bistros, and other restaurants. Are you ready for warm fondue in Switzerland and crispy baguettes in France? The food in Europe is terrific, so get set to eat extremely well!

We have satisfied the choosiest of eaters and gladly accommodate most special dietary requests including vegetarian, anaphylactic food allergies, lactose intolerance, celiac disease, and kosher style. We welcome discussing your individual requirements with you and have extensive experience in this area.

Laundry
You will only need one week’s worth of clothing as outlined in the packing list that will be sent to you prior to departure. Every week you may drop off your laundry at a local wash and fold service and then pick it up clean, folded and ready to go.
