Intern Abroad Flights

Here are a few things to keep in mind when booking your flight to participate in a program with Intern Abroad HQ:

• We strongly recommend waiting until your registration has been fully confirmed by Intern Abroad HQ before booking flights.
• Your arrival instructions are provided within your Internship Manual. Click here to log into your MyIAHQ account.
• For most Intern Abroad HQ programs, you should arrive no later than the day before your internship start date. However, some programs differ. Please check the specific arrival instructions for your program in your Intern Abroad HQ Internship Manual.
• Should you wish to arrive earlier or depart later, you may be able to arrange extra nights of accommodation. Please check with your Intern Abroad HQ Program Manager for guidance.
• Double check your departure and arrival dates, times, and cities. This is particularly important when crossing time zones and when booking overnight flights.
• You should plan to arrive at the airport 3 hours prior to your international departure. Be sure to factor this time into your itinerary planning.
• When you arrive at your destination, you will be greeted at the airport by a representative of the local Intern Abroad HQ team and transported to your accommodation. Your transfer from the airport and accommodation during your internship is covered by your Intern Abroad HQ Program Fee.
• If you plan to arrive at your destination prior to your internship, please let us know. Your Program Manager will advise you on instructions to join the program, in time for the orientation.
• Give yourself plenty of layover time between flight segments: at least one hour for domestic and 2 hours for international flights. Flight delays happen. Plan as if you will be delayed to minimize the risk of missing your connecting flight.
• Review all the terms and conditions that apply to your ticket prior to purchase, particularly around refundability.

All interns participating on Intern Abroad HQ overseas internship programs are required to purchase comprehensive travel insurance cover.

Interning can include a range of activities that standard travel insurance or medical insurance policies might not cover. That’s why Intern Abroad HQ offers its own travel insurance cover for our interns that has been customized specifically for the types of claims you may need to make while traveling abroad with us.

Depending on your country of origin and the type of passport you hold, you may require a visa or other endorsement to enter countries in which our programs operate.

You can find essential travel advice, including passport and visa information, security details and local regulations, on the government website of your home country.

Here are some helpful links:

Residents of other countries should refer to the travel advice provided by your own government or local consulate.

Entry requirements can change at any time, so it’s important you monitor this right up until you depart your home country.
