Flights done right

We have an in-house Flights Team that’s 100% dedicated to getting you to and from your tour smoothly. When airlines release their schedules—about a year out from your tour’s departure date—our Flights Team gets to work finding the best itinerary for you. (Thanks to EF’s global network and our partnerships with top airlines, there may be multiple to choose from.) 

If you don’t have any flight preferences, we'll select the best available option from your departure city. This itinerary can be viewed in your online account and mobile app 85 to 60 days before your trip. 

Already booked on a tour and want to share your flight preferences? Submit a flight request to our team. 

All round-trip air travel for our tours is booked on regularly scheduled flights with major international airlines. We don’t partner with no-frills airlines. If there’s a certain airline you’d like to fly with, let us know. Call us to speak to a travel expert who will look into available flight itinerary options.

After booking our airfare package, you can check the status of your flight itinerary in your online account and mobile app. If you have any questions or preferences for your flights, please submit a request. 

You'll receive an email notification once your flight itinerary is finalized, between 85 to 60 days before departure. From that point forward, you can view your flight details in your account and the Go Ahead app. Airlines can make schedule changes, so we highly recommend confirming all flight information with your airline and opting in to notifications about any schedule updates.  

Yes, in most cases. If you’re ready to reserve your tour but still deciding what to do about flights, that’s okay! As long as you decide by your Tour Finalization Date (either 70 or 90 days before departure depending on your trip), adding our airfare package is as easy as giving us a call.

While you’ll often earn frequent flier miles with our airfare package, we can’t guarantee mileage accrual with all airlines as policies vary. Once your flights are booked, you can add your frequent flier number directly through the airline's website or mobile app.  

If you’re having trouble adding your frequent flier details, send us a message and we can try to update your reservation on our end.  

We’re unable to accept airline miles as payment for our airfare package. Instead, we negotiate flight prices directly with airlines to get you the best rate. 

Add AnyReason Protection from Go Ahead Tours, and you can cancel any time prior to checking in for your first scheduled flight and receive a voucher to rebook your tour. AnyReason covers flights booked with us, too, so you can book your trip and flights 100% worry-free.

Our team of travel experts is here to talk all things airfare. If you have a question, submit a request to talk to an expert.

If you’re still planning your trip and would like to talk about adding our airfare package, submit a request.

We know that delayed or lost bags aren’t a great way to start your tour, so we’ve partnered with Blue Ribbon Bags to reunite you with your luggage ASAP.

If your bags don’t make it to your destination, the Blue Ribbon Bags service focuses on locating delayed luggage within the first 96 hours from when your flight lands. Blue Ribbon Bags will continue searching for your bags for 28 days. Once your baggage is located, it’ll be delivered directly to you. This service is included at no extra charge through every leg of your tour when you add our flight package.
