CTY: Summer Program for 7th-12th Graders in Madrid, Spain

2009 Catalog

Group Travel

CTY has made arrangements with World Travel Service for group travel from New York’s John F. Kennedy airport (JFK). Students who elect the group travel option arrange and pay for their travel to the gateway airport. At the gateway airport, they connect with other CTY students and with CTY staff who will chaperone the students to the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria from the gateway airport and back to the US gateway airport at the conclusion of the program. This is our recommended method for student travel to Madrid for those students who do not have direct flights available from their home area.

CTY Chaperones will meet group travelers at the Iberia ticketing area beginning four hours before the scheduled flights from JFK (see schedule below). Students must meet the chaperones at least two hours before the scheduled departure. Please note that the chaperones will speak English but not necessarily Spanish.

Students traveling as part of the group must fill out the Group Travel Reservation Form found in the student site information packet. The cost of the travel ($1,500) includes the student’s flight from the gateway airport to Madrid and shuttle service to and from the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria. It does not include travel to or from the gateway airports.

The quoted cost of travel may fluctuate slightly due to fuel costs. Space is limited, so if you are interested in this option please return the reservation form found in your student site information packet as soon as possible. If you need to book travel to/from to the gateway airport or from another airport, we suggest using World Travel Service. They are familiar with the group flight, can advise on appropriate connections, and can help coordinate families flying from other airports. Remember that flights to/from the gateway airport are your responsibility.
