For performances and competitions, each family will be able to decide on the mode of transportation best suited for them, and will be responsible for prompt arrival on a designated date, time and location.
Rationale:
1. To permit families to select mode of transportation best suited to their budget and personal preference
2. To maximize travel savings per family / skater.
WHY is Group Travel no longer suitable?
Because AIRLINES HAVE MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL WITH A GROUP RESERVATION. Some examples of the challenges we’ve faced in recent years are:
• Group bookings limit stand-by options
• There is an additional per ticket fee added for each person within a group reservation
• Having to make group reservations for flights so far in advance results in higher priced tickets for group travel.
• Restrictions apply that don’t allow individuals to redeem their "air miles’ for tickets with group travel booking
- Flight options & connections are limited in Group Reservations
Why is our NEW Travel Policy so great?
• Choose your preferred mode of transportation
• Use your air miles to purchase flights
• Stay a few extra days
• Saves one full day of bus fees at final destination
• Families can choose to travel with other families to cut down on travel costs even further!
• Upon arrival to hotel, skaters will be provided with on-site transportation for the duration of the competition
• Lodging will be secured by the Phoenix Travel coordinator
