The Kappa Alpha Order National Administrative Office will make all flight arrangements purchased through Canyon Creek Travel. Flight arrangements will be made for participants that live at least 4 hours or more from their holiday or school address to Greensboro, North Carolina. Upon receipt of your NLI registration, we will purchase the cheapest roundtrip ticket from the closest major airport. Flights will be scheduled to arrive on Friday, January 4th no later than 5:00 PM EST. Please plan to block off the entire day for travel and expect an early morning departure. Please note that a KA staff member will be waiting in the baggage claim area to direct everyone to the Airport Shuttle Van that will transport everyone to the Caraway Conference Center.
Return flights will be scheduled to leave Greensboro on Sunday, January 6th no earlier than 3:00 PM EST. A shuttle will take everyone back to the airport at 12:15 PM.
Ticket Policy: Any No. I flying out of an airport located in Berryman and Neal Province will be required to depart on Thursday, January 3rd. Any other flight where there are multiple destinations may also be required to fly out on Thursday. It is nearly impossible with flight delays, multiple destinations, and long distance flights to bring everyone in on time for us to begin on Friday, January 4th at 6 PM. For members that arrive Thursday night, they will be able to check into their rooms and meals will be provided.
If anyone is on vacation and not flying out of the closest major airport of their residence 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 original travel destination and the vacation destination. Thus one might have to leave their vacation destination to arrive to the conference center on Thursday, January 3rd. Once the ticket has been purchased, we will not pay for any changes.
Transportation costs covered: The Order will cover transportation costs including the following: plane tickets from a participant's parents residence or school address, mileage reimbursement for those driving, 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, etc.). If a No. I fails to show or he becomes ineligible as the I due to the grade requirements after a “seat” confirmation letter has been issued by the National Administrative Office, the chapter will be charged the average cost of a participant to attend (approx. $450.00). If a No. I fails to register by the December 3rd deadline, the chapter will have to reimburse the National Administrative Office the difference of the plane ticket from the price of a ticket on Dec. 3rd and the date of the late registration.
Driving: Participants whose “holiday address” is within 4 hours (250 miles one way) of Greensboro are required to drive and will be reimbursed at .35 cents per mile. Please arrive to the conference center on Friday, January 4th by 4:00 PM EST.
