Tips for Booking Flights

• We like to use Hipmunk and Farecompare to start our searches for airfare.

• Buying your tickets far in advance usually get you the cheapest fare.

• Buy your tickets on a Tuesday or Wednesday (this means the purchase date, not the travel date).

• Don’t buy your tickets on Saturday or Sunday (again, the purchase date, not the travel date).

• Call the airlines directly (the airlines do not always have the cheapest fares online).

Discounted Airfare

Cosmic Volunteers is registered with the non-profit “Fly For Good”. Founded by international volunteers, Fly For Good negotiates airfare discounts of 10% to 25% off the published rate for non-profits (like Cosmic Volunteers), their family members and their volunteers.

Here’s how it works:

• Book your flights via Fly For Good’s website.

• Fill out a form at their website with basic details about your volunteer trip (including the fact that you’re going abroad with Cosmic Volunteers).

• Cosmic Volunteers will then send you a letter confirming your participation in our programs.

• Present this letter when checking-in at the airport.
