Transportation
Flight Bookings
All attendees should plan to fly to Chicago O’Hare on Thursday, June 19 at your convenience. 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.
International volunteers, 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.
If attendees choose to fly to Chicago Midway International Airport instead of O’Hare, Gamma Phi Beta will only cover the cost of the flight plus transfers capped at $400. Any expenses for transfers over this amount will be at the attendee’s expense.
REAL Leadership Institute will conclude at 9 p.m. on Saturday, June 21. Please book your return flight so that your departure is at your convenience on Sunday, June 22.
