Dear Final Leg
Team Members;
I hope you have
had a great holiday season and had the opportunity to slow down a bit and enjoy
some well-deserved time with family and friends!
The time has
come to start the airline booking process.
Garber FCM
Travel will begin booking
the Team flights on Monday, January 5th and it is anticipated that is
will take several weeks before the entire Team is booked.
Here are a few VERY IMPORTANT
reminders: I have also sent this to the individuals that were
indicated as responsible for payment for each runner. Only one approval
is needed prior to booking so please communicate with one another (Program
& Runner).
Running Team
Leaders, athletes, and Council Logistics & Documentation Team airfares are
paid for by the LETR Executive Council/SOI but we still need your approval for
the flight itineraries.
Ø Council Logistics Team will arrive on July
8th and depart on July 27th
Ø California Logistics Team members will
arrive on July 9th and depart on July 27th
Ø Running Team Leaders will arrive on July
9th and depart on July 27th
Ø Runners (law enforcement & athletes)
will arrive on July 11th and depart on July 27th
Ø All Team members must arrive by 5 p.m. on their scheduled arrival date
Ø There are a few pre-approved exceptions to
these dates and the runners know who they are
Ø You must check your e-mail at the very least daily. Garber FCM Travel will send you the
proposed itinerary which you must approve
by replying back to Garber FCM Travel before they are booked. These
flights can only be held for 24 hours before they are paid for.
Ø Many airlines are now charging a fee to
reserve your seat preference at the time of booking. You will be notified
about this if it applies to you. Airlines "bump" those with
non- reserved seating first if the airline is overbooked so we are requesting
that each program pay this seat assignment fee as it is critical to get all
team members in at the mandated time.
Ø All flights are the cheapest available and
are non-refundable
Ø
Please
don't unnecessarily question flight itineraries. The professional travel
agent will have made every attempt to find the most direct flight at the
cheapest cost within the mandated time parameters.
If you have any
questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Wishing everyone
a Happy, Healthy, Safe & Prosperous New Year!
All the best;
John Newnan
Team Captain
