Return flight

Please arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your flight’s departure as check-in and security can take longer in the USA. We also advise you to be in your departure city for at least 48 hours before your flight home to avoid missing your return flight. A canceled domestic flight could result in missing your scheduled return flight home.

Changes to your return flight

For any questions regarding return flight changes, log in to your profile, proceed to the travel and flight section and follow the clear instructions. The change fee is always set by the airlines and not by Resort Leaders. The possibility and the cost of a change depend on the availability.

COVID-19 measures

COVID-19 measures change quickly and will vary based on what country you are traveling to or the state in the US you are traveling to. 

For information on guidelines for traveling to the US please visit CDC's Travel Planner.

We are hopeful that many of the current restrictions will have eased by the time you return home, however it is your responsibility to check any procedures that are in place regarding testing, quarantine or isolation and adhere to these.

Failure to do so may result in denial of boarding back to your home country.
