Flight booking
LDR doesn't organize group departures from any foreign city, EXCPET FOR ACTIVITIES EXCLUSIVELY RELATED TO THE STUDY VACATION FOR ITALIAN LANGUAGE COURSES. For this reason only the round-trip flight from New York's JFK International Airport to Rome's Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport is included in the vacation package offered by LDR. In addition, again with regard to the student learning vacation, the domestic flight in the U.S. or other form of transportation to reach JFK International Airport and for the return from the same airport to one's residence remains the responsibility of the participant. NB. It is recommended to purchase the ticket to reach New York JFK International Airport AFTER receiving confirmation of participation from LDR.
For language courses to minors: LDR will offer flight packages upon reaching the number required to run a course. Regarding the minor, please note that airlines have different regulations and age limits, so in order for LDR to book the ticket it will be necessary to verify with the airline that the child can travel alone without being accompanied by an adult, and without specific constraints for international versus domestic routes.

UM Procedure (Unaccompanied Minors)
For minors under 18 years of age traveling alone, some airlines provide special procedures such as the “unaccompanied minors” procedure; this means that upon departure, children are entrusted to the airline's staff, who in turn will entrust them to an LDR representative at the arrival airport. Companies have different regulations and age limits (this procedure can be extended up to 15 years of age, and as an optional service beyond that), so it is advisable to check this particularity when booking the flight. LDR will provide parents with the name to be communicated to the airline for reception at the arrival airport.

Flight times and transfer of CHILDREN
For junior programs (in our case in the age range from 15 to 19 years) flight schedules are subject to those of transfers organized by LDR; for more information request details from LDR.
Transfer: upon arrival, after picking up the baggage and passing customs, the kids are greeted by a person of the LDR staff (he will carry a sign with the LDR logo and the name of the group leader) that will accompany everyone to the final destination, Either, or, while waiting to leave, to a place in the airport supervised by LDR staff.
If the flight is delayed, LDR staff will remain at the airport until they have been able to pick up the group.
The transfer is usually made by bus, but depending on the time of arrival and the length of the journey can also be made by minibus or train.
N.B. For courses organized for children, the transfer is usually included in the rates, except for rare exceptions; in any case, for more information, apply to LDR.
Specific information about the transfer is contained in the documents provided by LDR to the participant before departure.

Flight times and transfer ADULTS
For study stays for adults in general the most indicated times are: arrival on site in the late morning or afternoon (preferably avoid the evening after h. 20.00); return preferably in the afternoon (avoid early morning).
For accommodation in the partner accommodation facilities, it is advisable to inquire in advance at the LDR about the reception and key collection times.
Transfer: as a rule also in the adult stay we offer a transfer service from the airports; but if for different reasons due to the needs of the participant the transfer becomes an optional, it will not be included in the rates. So if there are any particularities of the participant regarding the transfer it is necessary to contact LDR. N.B. If the transfer to Atessa takes place independently of the participant, in most cases it is easier and cheaper to use the railway.

Expatriation documents for adults and minors
Since these provisions may vary from country to country, especially in the case of minors, before leaving we recommend that you check their validity at the appropriate authorities of your country of origin.
