Flight Information

Getting There

Purchasing a trans-Atlantic plane ticket can be an expensive proposition, but planning ahead can help to lessen the hit on your wallet. Here's what we suggest:

  • The program start date for all fall semester programs is Tuesday, August 20. No students will be permitted to enter any campus prior to that date, so plan accordingly (flights arriving on the 20th will usually leave the US on the evening of the 19th).
  • Similarly, all students must exit the campus or residence on their program's end date. If you book a flight that leaves later than that date, be sure to also book a hotel or hostel.
  • This may seem obvious, but the earlier you book, the better. Be aware that flight prices will increase sharply as the departure date approaches.

Some websites we reccommend for looking for a flight:

Because your rotation order is Rome, Seville, Paris; you must purchase a ticket arriving in Rome and departing from Paris. 

The flights from Rome to Seville and from Seville to Paris are included in your program fee and will be purchased by St. John's.
