Travel Advisories

Travel Documentation Requirements – Please read carefully

Agents who are non-U.S. citizens should contact their consulate to obtain all necessary rules and regulation information for travel documentation prior to travel. U.S. citizens require a government issued photo identification to travel within the 48 contiguous states.

For all other destinations, please consult the following website for travel entry requirements, costs, and procedures for securing these documents. If you do not have Internet Access, please contact GTI and information on travel documentation requirements will be mailed to you.

Failure to secure proper and valid documentation will result in denied boarding, denied entry, trip cancellation penalties, and potentially the loss of your total travel investment. GTI recommends that you secure required travel documentation before making payment on your trip plans. The time to process travel documents may be lengthy so early planning is highly recommended especially during peak travel and holiday seasons. Non U.S. passport holders are also required to secure proper documentation which may greatly differ from U.S. passport holder requirements.

Upon receiving this document, you acknowledge that it is your responsibility to secure proper documents, visas, inoculations, and entry requirements for the countries you will visit.

International Travel Reminders

Flight Check-In
Check with your carrier for specific rules and regulations. Generally a traveler should allow a minimum of 2 hours in advance to check-in for domestic flights and 3 hours before international flight departures.

Restricted Air Fares
Most fares involve restrictions. Always reconfirm with the airline before changing or canceling any flights, as penalties will result.

Schedules
Flight changes can take place after you have purchased your ticket. Please reconfirm domestic flights at least 48 before departure, and reconfirm international flights 72 hours in advance of departure. Call your airline to reconfirm reservations.

International Travel with Minors
Minors under 18 years of age must travel with the consent of both parents. If a minor is traveling with only one parent, that parent must have a notarized letter of consent from the absent parent, copy of sole custody document or death certificate of absent parent. If a minor is traveling without either legal parent, a notarized letter of consent must be signed by both parents. All children, including infants, require government issued long form birth certificates with raised seal or passport, and a government issued photo ID is required for all travelers over the age of 18, with a government issued long form birth certificate with raised seal or a passport.

International Baggage Allowance
International baggage allowances are more restrictive than domestic baggage allowances. International baggage allowance will vary by the destinations you are visiting, total weight and combined dimensions, and class of air service purchased. Check with the specific airline websites or call your international airline for specific luggage restrictions before you travel. Baggage that exceeds airline specifications in weight, dimensions, and allowable pieces, will result in substantial penalties.
