Option# 2 / Arrange Your Own Flight to Costa Rica
Participants taking their own flight must still fill out the Online Reservation Form (at right). This confirms with ISV that you have decided to organise your own flight. It is a requirement for all Own Flight participants to send a copy of their flight itinerary to the ISV office no later than 65 days prior to departure for their records.
Participants arranging their own flight must arrive at the same time or prior to the arrival of participants on the specific ISV group flight above.
Participants organising their own flight to Costa Rica are also responsible for domestic transport from the airport to ISV’s accommodations in Heredia, San Jose and attend the 12pm Host Country Welcome Orientation meeting on the day the ISV Group Flight arrives in Costa Rica. Attendance at this meeting is compulsory. Specific details will be provided in the Participant Travel Manual which will be available approximately 30 days prior to departure.
