June 27 - July 17  OK to book flights once your name is listed!

Booking Guidelines

• Fly into and out of Cusco, Peru (Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, airport code: CUZ)

  • • Students will need to transit through Lima or Bogotá. Please allow a minimum of 3 hours to transit through Lima as it involves collecting bags and clearing customs and immigration before rechecking to the next flight. 

    • We highly recommend transiting through Lima over Bogotá. Transiting through Lima tends to offer a smoother transfer process. Opting for the immigration process in Cusco rather than in Lima can result in long wait times, particularly for the flights coming from Bogotá.

    • For your flights between Lima and Cusco, we recommend choosing LATAM Airlines over JetSmart. LATAM offers more flights, giving you more flexibility in the event of cancellations or delays. Also, LATAM provides better customer service and assistance if you have any issues with your flight.

  • Arrive between 05:00 (5am) and 15:00 (3pm) on June 27th

  • Depart between 05:00 (5am) and 22:00 (10pm) on July 17th

**** Emergency GLA Airport Support (see below) will be on standby at the Lima Airport to assist with any emergencies.

Options to book your flight (once you've been notified to do so) 

• • • Book with Ask Ros, She Travels GLA's Recommended Travel Agency

    • Book on your own 

      • • GLA recommends families avoid booking connecting flights on separate tickets and to avoid flights on Spirit or Frontier Airlines.

        • When booking directly with the airline, they may require passengers to present the credit card used to book the flight at check-in.

Unaccompanied Minor Program

• • • Unaccompanied Minor Program: Typically, this program is required by airlines for travelers 14 years & younger when traveling alone (each airline is different). 

    • Please contact us if you’ve purchased the optional Unaccompanied Minor service for your student and require a point of contact for arrival/departure.

Suggested Route

For each program, we suggest a flight route that is the most direct, with the fewest number of stops, and always leaving from a US gateway airport. Check the suggested routes on the Flight Portal. 

Parental Authorization Form

A Parental Authorization Form is required for minors traveling with LATAM Airlines and for all Global Leadership Adventures (GLA) students under 18. This form also serves as an important document in the event of an emergency during your student’s trip. Please ensure it is completed and notarized before departure.

Lima Airport - Emergency GLA Airport Support

How the Emergency GLA Airport Support Staff Helps

During student arrival and departure windows, GLA will have Emergency Airport Support staff stationed at the Lima (LIM) airport to assist with travel-related issues such as:

• Flight delays or cancellations

• Lost or delayed baggage

• Navigating between international and domestic flights

While the support staff will not directly supervise students, she is available on standby to provide assistance as needed.

If a student requires help, please contact Flor at +1-858-379-1525

Flor is not an airport official and does not have access to restricted areas (such as baggage claim or secured zones beyond security checkpoints). However, she can:

• Meet students after they exit international baggage claim

• Guide them through the airport to their next check-in area or gate

• Assist with airline check-ins and communicate with airline staff about flight status or baggage issues

• Advocate on behalf of students in the event of flight delays, cancellations, or baggage problems

Flor can remain with a student in public areas of the airport (before security) during long layovers if needed. Please note, however:

• She may need to assist multiple students during busy travel windows, so continuous supervision cannot be guaranteed.

• She cannot leave the airport or accompany students to hotels or accommodations, even at the airport hotel, if doing so would prevent her from supporting other students.

Who the Emergency GLA Airport Support Are

• One GLA representative, vetted and specifically trained by GLA

• Friendly and experienced travel professionals familiar with airport logistics and student travel

• Stationed at Lima Airport and available by request to help students during their flight transitions
