Yes, but note that the airline will not always give you a seat assignment in advance. Vantage will make the requests to the airline on your behalf, and you can check for confirmation of your seat requests on the Air Itinerary page within My Portfolio

( It is important to note that you DO have a confirmed reservation, even if you don't see a seat assignment on your air itinerary)

If the airline does not pre-assign seats, we recommend that you check in early at the airport and request your preferred seat.

Please note: Bulkhead seating and emergency exit seating cannot be pre-assigned, as airlines need to qualify passengers for those seats at check-in. If you prefer these seats, we strongly recommend that you check in early.

We will create your preliminary air itinerary approximately 5 days after you make your reservation, and send it to you via email. You can also view your itinerary within My Portfolio. Please note that this itinerary is subject to changes by the airlines and their schedules. You'll need to contact us immediately if your first and last names do not appear exactly as they do on your passport.

Based on our routing guidelines, we'll offer you non-stop flights whenever possible, as well as acceptable connection times of no less than two hours and no greater than four hours. To review your choices for air arrangements, please contact one of our Your Flight Choice Specialists at 8-888-888-8888

We'll give you additional options around your routing and airlines, and work with you to create an itinerary that suits your needs.

In general, we strive to offer you the best value possible, and we negotiate special airline contracts—which may contain certain restrictions that affect availability, choice of seats, flights, routes, and/or specific arrival times. While we charge no administration fee to customize your air itinerary, you may be subject to increases in airline costs.

Work with your airline to rebook your flight, then call us right away. A Vantage Travel Flight Watch Representative is available 24 hours a day to assist you with your travel needs, including those caused by flight delays or cancellations. After you rebook your flight with your airline, call us with your updated flight information.

Call our Flight Watch staff at 8-888-888-8888 (toll-free) or 8-888-888-8888 (collect calls accepted)

Sometimes airline schedules require travelers to stay overnight at a nearby airport hotel on the night before their trip is scheduled to begin. In such a case, Vantage will notify you of the required overnight stay and offer to assist you in making your hotel reservations. However, all costs for the additional overnight stay (including hotel, food costs and other expenses) are the responsibility of the traveler.

In the event of a cancelled or delayed flight that forces an overnight stay, travelers are advised to work directly with the airline for reimbursement. Or, if they have purchased Vantage's Travel Protection Plan, travelers can work with TripMate for reimbursement.

Yes, on participating airlines. Business Class upgrades are available on most Vantage Tours, savings thousands off regular airline retail fares.

Yes. We encourage travelers to make their most of their international airfare and maximize their discoveries. Subject to flight availability, you'll have the option to arrange "break away" airfare at the beginning or end of your adventure—giving you the chance to travel on your own to wherever you choose.

It is important to note that you are responsible for confirming your flights, arranging your airport transports, and arriving at the proper airports for your flights. Additional air charges may also apply. You must request to deviate no later than 60 days prior to departure—confirmation information will become available about 60 days before your departure date.

U.S. Departure: If you are among a group of eight or more Vantage Travelers who depart the U.S from your international gateway city, a Vantage Airport rep will assist you at the U.S. airport with the check-in of your flight.

International Arrival: You will be met at the airport after you exit customs by a Vantage Travel representative, and they will escort you to a private motor coach for your transfer to the boat pier or hotel.

If your group is traveling from the same city on the same day, we will do our best to accommodate you all on the same flights—but we can't guarantee it.

Note: Your Group Leader will be made aware of your group's flight itinerary, and may choose the itinerary for you.

We recommend that you call your scheduled airline or visit their website within 24 hours of departure to reconfirm that your flight times have not changed.

We offer 150 cities from which to choose, the most of any deluxe travel company. It makes your experience—and choice—easy!
