Learn how to customize your vacation, or view standard air routing and travel times. The choice is yours with our True Choice program.
Customize your trip
With our True Choice Program, you can choose to stay longer before or after your trip on your own, or combine two vacations to maximize your value. Here are more ways to create the Grand Circle vacation that’s right for you:
- Choose our standard air routing, or work with us to select the airline and routing you prefer
- Make your own international flight arrangements, applying frequent flyer miles if available
- Stay overnight in a connecting city before or after your trip
- Request to arrive a few days early to get a fresh start on your vacation
- Choose to “break away” before or after your trip, spending additional days or weeks on your own
- Extend your vacation with our optional pre- and post-trip extensions
- Combine your choice of Grand Circle vacations to maximize your value
- Upgrade to business or premium economy class
These options will involve an additional fee of $100 per person for confirmed requests (as well as incremental airfare costs based on your specific choice). This service fee will be waived for Inner Circle Club members.
