Transportation

Flight Bookings

All attendees should plan to fly to Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) on Friday, June 23, before noon. International volunteers may expense their flights back to Gamma Phi Beta as per the travel policy. Chapter advisors will either need to expense their flights back to their chapter or personally pay for their flight.

Please consider both cost and a timely itinerary when booking your flight. If your flight exceeds the maximum reimbursement allowed, please email Page Adams for approval to book at a higher rate. If not approved, volunteers will still have the option to be reimbursed for the maximum allotment and pay for the additional costs out of pocket.

REAL Leadership Institute will conclude at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 24. Please book your return flight so that your departure is on Sunday, June 25, from PSP.
