2016 NNPDF Family Support & Medical Conference Getting to Boston, MA The Internet makes comparison shopping for airfares simple. Some sites you might check out: www.travelocity.com www.expedia.com www.orbitz.com www.kayak.com www.priceline.com www.airfares.com www.cheapflights.com We suggest that you pay for airline tickets with a credit card. Should an airline go out of business or cancel a flight, you may be able to dispute the charges and receive your money back. You can also purchase travel insurance through a travel agent or services such as AAA. Many airlines offer trip insurance on their web sites. Cancellation policies differ between airlines. Some air- lines may honor tickets for one year from the date of issue, subject to an additional fee. (If the re- placement ticket costs more than the original, the difference must also be paid.) Some airlines may charge a per person fee for any changes, plus any difference in the price of the new fare. Check with your airline for its specific policy. Please remember when traveling to check with your airline regarding traveling with wheelchairs, scooters or oxygen. Depending on your location, you may want to consider other modes of transportation, such as train or bus. Visit www.amtrak.com and www.greyhound.com for more information.
