China Study Tour - Travel arrangements
You will be required to arrange your own flight to and from Shanghai, however we will negotiate a group fare with one of the airlines via Reho Travel and would encourage you to travel with Deakin University as a group. The higher number of bookings that are made with the group, the more discounted the flight cost will become. Please note if you choose to travel individually you will need to arrange your own airport transfers.
The group fare booking is also very flexible in that you are able to change your return date and also the city you return from.
The group fare and further information will be provided after the tour is confirmed. We currently have a quote of approximately $1800 (including taxes and the cost of the tourist visa) with Singapore Airlines. The Group Travel Booking Form [123KB PDF] and your deposit of $500 will be due on Thursday 5 April with the balance due on Friday 27 April 2012.

Making your own travel plans

PLEASE NOTE - Do not make any payment for travel until instructed to do so by the School of Law via email. If the minimum number of students is not achieved, the tour will not go ahead. The School of Law will not be responsible for any costs incurred for travel arrangements that you make without advice.
