Can I get a single room?
Yes, there are a limited number of single rooms available. However, a single supplement fee of $2,000 is required for a single room.
What is the difference between a full package and a ground-only package?
The only difference between the two is that the full package provides group airfare while the ground-only package requires the participant to provide his/her own flight arrangements. This difference is reflected in the price.
If I am flying with the group, can I upgrade my ticket or confirm specific seats on my flights?
It may be possible to upgrade to extra legroom seats, depending the specific group contract. The cost of upgrading a seat depends on the selected seat, which will be provided when booking.
Can Discipleship Travel LLC help me make my own flight arrangements?
If you want to purchase your own flight, Discipleship Travel LLC can certainly help you with those arrangements.
You must deal directly with your airline’s reward department if you want to use miles to obtain your own flight.
What should I keep in mind if I make my own flight arrangements?
The most important consideration is that you must coordinate your arrival and departure with those of the group. You must be at the airport to meet the group at the designated arrival time. The bus will not wait for you to arrive. This may mean that you have to arrive at your destination a day earlier than the group or arrange your own transportation to meet up with the group. In that case, Discipleship Travel LLC can help you reserve a hotel room, but you will be responsible for the extra costs involved. Likewise, if you do not transfer to the airport with the group for your departure flight, you will be responsible for all extra costs related to staying longer at your destination and/or getting to the airport.
When should I purchase airline tickets?
To avoid penalties and fees imposed by the airlines should changes occur, Discipleship Travel LLC recommends waiting to purchase your airfare until the minimum number of participants (20) have registered for this tour OR to purchase refundable tickets. Discipleship Travel LLC will notify all ground-only participants when minimum participation has been reached. Participants who do not participate in the group airfare arrangements bear all financial responsibilities related to providing their own airfare, and Discipleship Travel LLC is not responsible, nor will Discipleship Travel LLC reimburse such participants for any losses they incur should the group become unviable for any reason.
When should I arrive at the destination airport?
The group is scheduled to arrive in Amman (AMM) at 4:35 PM on March 13, 2026. Participants making travel arrangements must schedule their arrival in Amman by the time the group flight arrives. The bus will not wait for participants who are not at the airport when the bus has been loaded for departure from the airport. If, for any reason, a participant is not at the airport when the bus departs, that participant is responsible for making their own arrangements to meet the group wether at the hotel or a tour site.
When should I depart from the destination airport?
The group is scheduled to depart Tel Aviv (TLV) at 8:00 AM on March 28, 2026. The bus will leave the hotel at about 4:00 AM on March 28, 2026. Those making their own travel arrangements may ride the bus to the airport with the group or arrange their own transportation to the airport. The hotel rooms will be available for group participants until 10:00 AM on March 28, 2026.
What is the baggage allowance?
Participants are allowed one (1) checked bag and one carry-on at no additional cost. The checked bag may weigh up to 50 pounds and measure 62 inches (L+W+D). The carry-on can measure up to 45 inches (L+W+D). Baggage restrictions can vary by airline. Therefore, verifying the airline’s baggage regulations is important before getting to the airport.
