CTY has made arrangements with World Travel Service for group travel from two gateway airports in the US, San Francisco (SFO) and New York (JFK). Students who elect the group travel option arrange and pay for their travel to the gateway airport. At the gateway airport, they connect with other CTY students and with CTY staff who will chaperone the students to the Hopkins Nanjing Center from the gateway airport and back to the US gateway airport at the conclusion of the program. This is our recommended method for student travel to China. CTY Chaperones will meet group travelers at the Cathay Pacific ticketing area beginning four hours before the scheduled flights from SFO and JFK (see schedule below). Students must meet the chaperones at least two hours before the scheduled departure. Both groups will connect through Hong Kong (HKG) and fly from Hong Kong to Nanjing, China (NKG). Please note that the chaperones will speak English but not necessarily Chinese. Students traveling as part of the group must fill out the Group Travel Reservation Form found in the student site information packet. The cost of the travel ($1,775) includes the student’s flight from the gateway airport to Nanjing and shuttle service to and from the Hopkins Nanjing Center. It does not include travel to or from the gateway airports. The quoted cost of travel may fluctuate slightly due to fuel costs. Space is limited, so if you are interested in this option please return the reservation form found in your student site information packet as soon as possible. If you need to book travel to/from to the gateway airport, we suggest using World Travel Service. They are familiar with the group flights and can advise on appropriate connections. Remember that flights to/from the gateway airport are your responsibility. World Travel Service

*Due to the early departure, schedule a flight that arrives at SFO on June 26. **For students considering travel through the New York Gateway: The return flight arrival time of 9:15 p.m. will be too late to make connecting flights to other US locations. If this is a concern, consider routing through SFO as the arrival time to California leaves plenty of room for a range of connections.
