Travel Info: Laos

Rustic Pathways uses Singapore Airlines for our escorted group flights from the United States to Southeast Asia. Students leaving from the United States may either depart on one of our chaperoned group flights from a gateway airport (see pricing below) or may choose to arrange their own airfare to their destination country with our Self-Managed Airfare. Students on chaperoned group flights are responsible for arranging their own domestic travel to our gateway city.

If flying on our chaperoned group flight via Houston (IAH), students will have a fuel stop in Manchester, U.K. (MAN) before proceeding to a connecting flight in Singapore (SIN) to Bangkok, Thailand (BKK) where they will connect with the other members of their program and proceed to their program destination.

Students joining our programs from outside the United States are responsible for arranging their own travel to their destination. You will be provided with specific arrival and departure time windows. Arriving or departing outside these windows may incur special transportation arrangements and fees. Students may alternatively choose to join one of our chaperoned group flights departing from one of our United States gateway airports in which case they would be responsible for arriving to and departing from that gateway airport. Please reach out to your Personal Travel Advisor to confirm specific arrival and departure airports and times.
