3. BAGGAGE. Checked baggage and carry-ons will both have a fee on the low-cost airlines. The cost will be the same when you book the ticket until a day before the flight, so it is ok to wait and add baggage once you know how much you need. Measure well your bag's length and weight and add and pay for luggage before going to to the airport to avoid extra fees. It is possible to store something at Emmaus upon arrival and pick it up when we stop there on the last day. For example, this could be valuables, a suitcase if you are renting a backpack, etc. 

4. INSURANCE. Non-Gaming pilgrims, please purchase "Trip Protection" when you purchase your flight. Gaming students, your insurance is included under your Gaming coverage, so if you purchase flight insurance, this is mainly to change or reimburse your flight more easily if problems come up. Up to you! In case of cancellation, Beatitudes Missions will refund for the trip according to the percentage on the policy listed on our site, however we will not refund your deposit or your flight.
