Update From TFT Headquarters
We’re one month closer to departure! It’s hard to believe, but we are beyond excited as we get into the season of filling up trips, making final reservations, and preparing for summer. We have another big update to share with you, read on!
The goal of our monthly updates is to share key information relevant to the time of the year and a centralized place for general information that will help you and your teen prepare for their program.
These are the key items for our spring update:
- May 1 Deadline to Book Flights with TFT
- Time to Book Optional Trip Add-Ons!
- Order your TFT Traveler Tee
- Visas
- Non Voluntary Flight Changes and Voluntary Trip Changes
- Passport Validity
- Paperwork and Payment Audits
- Getting in Touch with the Office
Many of our programs offer an additional element to a program that not every participant would necessarily want to do, such as SCUBA, high-adrenaline, or day trips! These activities are an additional cost, not part of the advertised tuition, and are, of course, completely optional. Not every program will have added excursions, so if you do not see any on your teen’s trip, don’t worry, it just means that your teen doesn’t have to decide if they want to do anything extra! Please note an alternate activity will always be available for the group that does not participate.
You will find the optional add-ons by clicking your teen’s trip in your MyTFT Portal and scrolling to the sections under your Traveler Tasks. You can simply click the carrot next to ‘Register’ to add it and you will be invoiced automatically. Currently, our new system does not describe the excursion or show the signup deadline but these are enhancements that will be added in time. We will be emailing by trip a description of the excursion along with the deadline for signing up. If you sign up for an excursion but decide not to participate you can opt out up to the signup deadline. Once the signup deadline has passed there will be no opportunity for refunds.
