GENERAL INFO

Travel Information for Veterans Courses

Your travel may ONLY be arranged AFTER Final Clearance from Admissions, which includes notification that the course has met its minimum enrollment (usually 6). Once you have been Cleared and receive confirmation to book travel you will work with Donna Evans (travel agent) to arrange flights. You can contact Donna via email: [email protected]

Some important things to note:

  • Students are encouraged to carry on their luggage when possible to eliminate baggage fees (you are responsible for these).
  • If you need to take a shuttle or get driven to/from your departing airport, you will be responsible for the costs associated with that portion of your travel.
  • If you cancel your application after being approved and booking travel, or you do not show up for your course, you are responsible for repaying the cost of the ticket AND you will be charged a $250 cancelation fee.

Travel Delays or Issues

Changes to Travel Prior to Course Start

If you encounter changes to your travel plans after you have submitted your Travel Form, please contact your Course Advisor to update them about the change.

Course End

COURSE END

Departure Location: Miami International Airport (MIA), 2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami, FL 33142

We will arrange transportation back to Miami at course end. The shuttle will arrive at Miami International Airport (MIA) around 12:00 PM.

We cannot guarantee that you will be able to make a flight before 1:30 pm, so please book a flight that leaves after that time.

If you think it makes more sense for you to depart directly from the Outward Bound base, please contact your Course Advisor to discuss alternate arrangements.

Course Start

COURSE START

Once you are Cleared to Participate, you will receive instructions for contacting our travel agent to arrange your flights.

Arrival Location: Miami International Airport (MIA), 2100 NW 42nd Ave, Miami, FL 33142

Students need to be in Miami by 8:30am the morning of course start. If you need to fly into Miami the day before, we can arrange for a hotel room for you as well as the flight. Keep in mind you will likely be sharing the room with another student on the course.

Your Course Advisor will let you know where to meet the shuttle that will transport the group to our base on Big Pine Key for your course start.

If you think it makes more sense for you to arrive directly at the Outward Bound base, please contact your Course Advisor to discuss alternate arrangements.

General Travel Info

Please review the times and locations for Course Start and Course End as you plan your travel to and from course. You should also be familiar with the information on the COVID-19 Health and Safety page.

 Do not purchase any travel tickets until your Course Advisor has given the "go-ahead" to book travel for your course. This message will be in either your Cleared to Participate email or a separate message confirming the course is cleared to book travel.

Travel details (flights and drop-offs) are due to your Course Advisor 10 days before your course start date. This helps our airport shuttle teams get organized and ensures we have enough seats available for all students needing a ride. You will receive a Travel Form link from your course advisor. Please complete this form, even if you are being dropped off by car.

 Students flying without an adult/guardian may need to bring an ID when traveling to and/or from course.  If you need to obtain a non-driver ID card, please see your local Department of Motor Vehicles office.  For more information, go to www.dmv.org/id-cards.php.
