Group Flights

GlobaLinks Learning Abroad works closely with STA Travel, a student travel organization. GlobaLinks Learning Abroad will arrange a group flight through STA Travel for most Oceania programs each intake. Students who use the group flight receive certain benefits that are exclusive to our program. These benefits are:

• Ticket Flexibility: Students are able to make date and routing changes for a small fee. Students who also book departure from their hometown through to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji are allowed the international weight limit for their luggage.
• Affordable Stopovers: For as little as $200 students can add stopovers to their return flights. These deals pertain to students booking their stopovers before departure. Additional charges will apply if you choose to add a stopover upon arrival.
• Scholarships: GlobaLinks Learning Abroad is given 10 airline ticket vouchers to award to our program participants. Students who complete the GlobaLinks Learning Abroad scholarship application and book the group flight will be eligible for these vouchers.

Students who do not wish to partake in the group flight must arrange their own travel to the Bridging Cultures Program.

While a group flight option is not arranged for all GlobaLinks Learning Abroad programs, participants have access to the travel resources at STA Travel, as well as travel and logistical support  from GlobaLinks Learning Abroad coordinators.
