Frequently
Asked Questions
Patient:
| 1. |
How long will it take
to find a flight for me?
We do not create a flight request for you
until 3 weeks before your appointment, and we donĖt start looking
for a flight until a week before your appointment, because we
only get corporate schedules a week in advance. Sometimes we
might find a flight immediately, but it varies, depending on
where you live and where youĖre going. There is the possibility
we may not find a flight, which is why we encourage you to make
back-up commercial reservations.

How will I know someone
is working on my trip?
A week before your appointment, we start
matching your request with flight schedules weĖve received from
our participating companies. The volunteers who work on your
trip will notify you with any possible flights, or to let you
know if we havenĖt found one.

Can my spouse or a friend
fly with me?
If a second seat is available patient may
bring one adult companion, and children (under age 23) may bring
two adults. Corporate participants are accustomed to receiving
requests for two seats, three if the patient is a child.

Who can help me with lodging?

a discount to visiting patients.
