The Kappa Alpha Order National Administrative Office will make all flight arrangements through Altour Travel. Flight arrangements will be made for participants that live at least 4 hours or more from your home or school address to Greensboro, North Carolina.
The Order will cover transportation costs including the following:
- plane tickets from the participant’s home or school address
- mileage reimbursement for those driving (credited to the chapter's account)
- lodging at the Caraway Conference Center
- and meals on site.
Participants are required to cover any meals while traveling and any incidental expenses (airport parking, checked baggage, mileage to and from the airport, meals while traveling, etc.).
Upon receipt of the NLI registration, the Kappa Alpha Order National Administrative Office will purchase the cheapest roundtrip ticket from the closest major airports. Altour Travel will send an E-Ticket via email to each Number I. Flights will be scheduled to arrive on Thursday, January 9th. Please plan to block off the entire day for travel, and possibly Wednesday evening if you have a very early flight Thursday morning.
Everyone will arrive on Thursday so that we can begin our conference that evening. Return flights will be scheduled to leave Greensboro, NC on Sunday, January 12th no earlier than 12:00 PM EST. A shuttle will take everyone back to the airport beginning at 10:00 AM.
If anyone is on vacation and not flying out of the closest major airport of their home or school address, Kappa Alpha Order will work with that individual to get them to NLI. However, the person is required to pay the difference of the school or home address travel destination and the vacation destination.
Once the ticket has been purchased, the Kappa Alpha Order National Administrative Office will not pay for any additional changes. If a Number I fails to show or he becomes ineligible (disciplinary reason, grades, etc.) after an E-ticket confirmation has been issued by the National Administrative Office, the chapter will be responsible for the cost of a new ticket.
If a Number I fails to register by the December 6th deadline, the chapter will have to reimburse the National Administrative Office the difference of the plane ticket from the price of a ticket on December 6th and the date of the late registration.
BAGGAGE POLICY: Please be advised that airlines charge for checked baggage. The NLI policy states that no one will be reimbursed for checked baggage. Please pack a carry-on bag.
DRIVING: Participants whose school address or home address (depending on where the Number I located at the time of NLI) is within 4 hours (250 miles one way) of Greensboro will be reimbursed at .40 cents per mile. Please arrive to the conference center on Thursday, January 9th by 3:00 PM EST. Reimbursements will be posted to the chapter's statement of account after the conference.
