Reserving flights through Road Scholar

We have done both - in fact we have both this year. I like the idea of booking through RS, because I HOPE they will check to see if the flight schedule and the program schedule are compatible. We had a problem last year when our return flight was too early for the return-to-airport time for the tour. Cost us several hundred dollars to United Airlines to change flights (what a rip-off).

Hi - this is our first trip with Road Scholar, and they booked our flights. It's international, and our return flight is 7:25 AM. The first information booklet we received noted the first shuttle started at 5:30. I assumed that meant they would provide alternative transportation, such as taxi, for earlier departures, but I did call RS and the person said that they didn't know, but I should just speak to the Program Director and they would take care of it. Your post sounds like that's NOT the case - ?? It's only 16 miles to the airport, but If they say they provide transfers, I would think it's up to them. Not so?

I always book international trips through Road Scholar and they have always provided transportation at the arrival airport and back to the departure airport. In Athens they sent me in a cab at 3AM for a very early flight . The literature states that if you book through them they provide transportation from and to the airport. Sometimes it is a group departure but if that doesn’t meet with your flight they will get you to the airport.

Hi grtbritfan, I'll be reaching out to you via email to assist you with the transfer arrangements shortly. Best, Rachel

Thanks!! I thought that would be the case, and RS has also replied to me saying the same. One less thing to worry about!

Thank you! Trip is next month, but just wanted to be sure of details.
