Those who do not take insurance should be aware of the cancellation penalties: From day of registration to 60 days prior to departure, you will be charged the $55.00 non-refundable administrative fee and any airline penalties. Thereafter, you will be charged a single room fee if your cancellation forces your roommate into a single room. Also, in addition to any airline penalties the following charges apply:

ITINERARY LENGTH: Your flight times are subject to change without advanced notice. JCBS/EOT is not responsible for changes and delays in airline schedules and does not reimburse passengers for expenses resulting from delays.
