• Final payment: approx $1500 due prior to 31st March 2026 (Amount is subject to change depending on final numbers etc.)

• If you are a dad travelling with a son, you can do one payment for both of you, they do not need to be separate payments.  Just remember on the payment link page the first box that appears is account name enter both your name and your sons, on the next page you enter cardholder name.

• Sightseeing and Meals are also included in this costing, there should be no other costs incurred on the trip, it is a well planned and inclusive trip as we have done for the past 20+ years. 

• All monies paid are non-refundable.

​​

These three payments total $4500, which is our projected per person cost. Our final cost should be right around this amount, but we just can’t promise a final cost until accommodations, rental cars, activities, and number of travelers etc. are secured.  Please know that airfare was higher than last year's costs which is the only reason the cost is slightly higher.

 

Also, please know that giving a projected cost early on, rather than a final cost, is exactly the way the school has always done it – so we are following that model.  

​​

Important Info re group airfares
This is utilizing group airfare with Aer Lingus, it is  always slightly more expensive that just regular airfare but it has more flexible conditions like not needing to be paid for immediately and name changes are permitted even after ticketing.  If you are thinking of going early or staying later than the planned trip date then it is important we know this information ahead of time and pull you from the group airfare pricing, your air will need to be done seperately.  I can still assist but it needs to be seperate. 

​

Trip Insurance

Trip insurance is available and is separate from the full trip cost. Insurance costs are based on the of travelers age and the trip cost of the budgeted $4500.  Note, this insurance covers illness, including covid.

• Age up to 20 years $283.50 ($427.50 for Cancel for any reason/80% claimable)

• Age up to 59 years $353.25 ($526.50 for Cancel for any reason/80% claimable)

A separate email will come out asking if you want to do insurance on your trip and an example of what the policy covers.

It is recommended by your group organizer to buy insurance but it is not mandatory, but always recommended.  We also do have insurance that allows you to cancel for any reason, good for those unexpected moment, its a little higher, but you can cancel for any reason and you can claim back up to 80% of your costs.
 

There will be a booking form coming to your email shortly and this form must then be completed and submitted directly to Adam Gooch agooch@akridge.com.
