Adventurequest's
trips begin at the Gallatin Field Airport in Bozeman, Montana.
Airfares
vary depending on point of origin and time of booking. We recommend
that you book flights early to receive the lowest fares and
to assure convenient flight times. Airfare is the responsibility
of each individual camper. Please try to book flights that are
scheduled to arrive between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM on the first
day of each trip, and that depart between 10:00 AM and 3:00
PM on the last day of each trip. We understand that this is
not always possible because airlines change flight schedules.
Adventurequest can shuttle campers to and from the airport if
necessary.
Adventurequest's
staff will meet each individual camper at their arrival gate,
and will take each individual camper to their flight's gate
for departure. Bozeman's airport is very small and there is
usually only one flight departing or arriving at one time, thus
eliminating the confusion of large and rather hectic airports.
Most flights to and from Bozeman require a connection, however
most airlines require that minors travelling alone (or without
the supevision of an adult) purchase the "unaccompanied
minor" escort service. By purchasing this for a nominal
fee, an airline representative will escort the minor off the
plane, through the airport, and on to the connecting flight.
In addition to the escort the airline requires a predetermined
adult to sign at both ends for pick up and drop off, thus assuing
the camper arrives at each destination safely.
(Please
call for the name of our staff member who will be meting you
upon arrival.)
We
understand that flights get delayed, canceled, etc... Adventurequest
cannot be responsible for any airline's misfortune, and we cannot
be responsible for campers when they are in transit, however,
it is our policy to work with both the airlines and parents/guardians
to assure the best possible solutions to any travel problems.
We encourage campers to make contact with their parents upon
arrival, and also to contact Adventurequest when they return
home so that we know they have arrived safely.
Air
travel is the most common and preferred method of transportation.
Adventurequest will accommodate other modes of transportation,
i.e.... train, bus, etc. . Please contact us for further information
regarding alternative transportation options.
