Solo travel in a group: preparing your departure in Perpignan
You want to leave, but not necessarily a travel companion available. Joining a group allows you to share a route; yet you have to choose the right framework.
Book on your own, travel together
Going alone means booking for yourself, not necessarily having a single room. Before choosing a departure, specify if you want your room or if you are open to a sharing. Ask the real possibilities, conditions and possible supplements. No contact with another traveler is guaranteed.
Choose the pace before the destination
Look at transport times, visit days, walks and free time. A sequence of morning departure does not have the same effect as a stay with several nights in the same hotel. Ask your questions from the concrete program: length of a day, stairs, trips and pauses.
Read the price and what it covers together
A amount is compared only to its benefits. Find flights and luggage, transfers, room categories, meals, visits and optional excursions. Insurance, drinking and personal expenses must also be considered in the inclusion and exclusions of the document concerned.
Understand the appointment process from Perpignan
Some Odyssey programs include the collective journey from Perpignan to Barcelona; the Svalbard plan Montpellier. This does not involve a direct flight from Perpignan. The Polynesia document begins in Paris CDG: the pre-transmission must be discussed. The exact address and time of the meeting are listed in your starting documents.
Know who does what during the stay
The agency, the accompanyer and local guides do not always perform the same functions. Ask who accompanies your group, what steps and how to join the planned interlocutor. Caroline prepares the file with you; her personal presence on each departure must be confirmed.
From enquiry to booking
Start with the trip that attracts you, the number of people and your room preference. Before engaging, obtain the department status, registration conditions, deadlines and applicable documents. A telephone exchange or information email does not constitute a reservation.
Six points to keep in mind.
- Are the dates and schedules in line with my wishes?
- What pace and free time are scheduled?
- Which room and what possible supplements?
- What transportation and what transportation is included?
- Who accompanies and how is the departure confirmed?
- What conditions and what insurance for my case?
