Air Travel

Airfare is not included in the land cost of our trips. We are currently researching group flight options, which may be attractive, but you are not obligated to travel with OCSC and are welcome to make your own arrangements. For air reservations, we recommend you contact the airlines directly, either by phone or the Internet. In addition, many travelers elect to use their “frequent flyer” miles when traveling with us.

Please check with our staff before purchasing or obtaining your tickets. We need to verify your arrival and departure schedule and ensure we have enough participants to operate the trip.
