The closest airport is IND. The project location is still approximately 90 minutes away. You are responsible for getting from the airport to the hotel. Once we receive everyone's flight information, we are happy to put you in touch with students arriving around the same time so that you can split your transportation costs if you wish. The hotel will be approximately 15 minutes from the project site and your daily transport is provided.

Loop Abroad staff will be available on travel days by phone for any travel delays or arrival problems. If you are flying, it is important that you arrive at the airport on time. You should schedule your inbound flight so that if you miss it or if it is cancelled or delayed, the next scheduled flight on that airline would still get you to the airport on time. It is a good idea to check with your airline for on-time percentages and choose your flight accordingly. 

Two days prior to departure, you will receive additional information about airport arrangements and emergency contact numbers. Please read this information carefully as it may answer any additional questions you have about your travel.

Your first meal included in your tuition will be dinner on arrival day and your last meal included in your tuition is breakfast on departure day. If you are going to be arriving earlier or departing later, you will be responsible for your own meals. 

If you choose to travel on your own before or after the program ends, you are solely responsible for your own safety during that time. It is your responsibility to ensure that you arrive to meet your group on the first day of the program and that you have any travel documents you need to complete your individual travel plans.
