You are Clear to Book Flights!

 

All Final Leg Participants May now Book Flights

Hello Everyone,

We have been authorized by SOI to begin booking flights for Final Leg Torch Runners and Athletes. Programs are responsible for the costs of their respective Torch Runners. If you also have an athlete (North Carolina, Northern California, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York & Western Australia), the LETR International Executive Council will cover the cost of that travel, however the program must make the reservation through World Travel. World Travel has been provided the names of all athletes.  When booking Athletes, please CC Kami on your request to World Travel at kdelameter@specialolympics.org so she can track.

Travel Dates:

27 February - All Torch Runners and Athletes MUST arrive in Turin (airport code TRN) on this date, no exceptions

10 March - All Torch Runners and Athletes will be relieved of their duties and may travel home on this date

Please follow the directions below when booking your flights:

Programs can use World Travel if they would prefer but they will need to do that on an individual basis and pay via CC at the time of booking.  Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else from me. Thanks!

 

Book Travel

You can begin to book your flights for the Final Leg. Please book through World Travel at specialolympics@worldtravelinc.com and copy Kami. Please have your flight booked no later than January 10, 2025. Let World Travel know that you are booking the flight for the Final Leg of the 2025 Winter World Games and include the following information: 

 

·       Name (exactly as it appears on Gov’t ID/Passport)

·       Passport # & Expiration Date

·       DOB

·       Cell phone number

·       Email address

·       Home airport code

·       Destination airport code

·       Dates of travel  

·       Known traveler number (if applicable)

 

World Travel will send you some flight options to choose from or if you already know what flights you want you can send it to them to book. As a reminder, SOI travel policy prohibits booking exclusively with one airline. The lowest logical flight must be selected. Kami will approve it in our booking system and provide coding. 

 

**If you are traveling to Athens/Rome, then you will need to request the cost of the flight to Turin to see if the costs are comparable.  You will be responsible for anything over and beyond that rate.
