Airline Travel

In the event of a delay on your Odysseys-arranged flight which results in a missed airline connection:

Proceed directly to the airline counter on which the missed flight is booked. You must work directly with this airline to re-protect you on the next available flight to your final destination. The airline itself, not Odysseys, offers the best way for you to rebook your flight; at that point, we will not have access to the most up-to-date information to facilitate your travel.

In the event that this happens as you depart for your trip, we ask that you call Odysseys Unlimited after speaking to the airline to advise us of your revised itinerary so that we may arrange a transfer for you upon your arrival. During business hours (Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., ET), please call toll-free: (888) 370-6765 or (617) 454-9100. After hours, you can reach a staff member on our emergency line: (339) 222-7456.

Staying healthy and comfortable on your flight:

The air on planes is extremely dry and can cause dehydration. To avoid this, drink little or no alcohol or caffeine, and drink plenty of water before, during, and after your flight. Note that on most international flights, beverages and snacks are available in the galley, even if flight attendants are not wheeling the carts through the cabin.

It’s a good idea to take frequent walks in the aisles if possible, do isometric exercises at your seat, or at the least move your ankles and feet periodically to help prevent the swelling that often results from long plane trips. Medical experts recommend “pumping your feet” while seated by alternately lifting your toes and heels to increase blood flow and decrease the risk of blood clots and pulmonary embolisms. You may also want to consider wearing compression stockings for this purpose.
