Do you recommend any flights?
The flights logistics have become more difficult. We will inform you with exact information closer to the camp. If you do not want to wait, we will be happy to help you order a taxi.
If you are unable to accompany your child, campers aged between 5 and 16 years can travel without parents under the supervision of a flight company staff. The staff will take care of children at all stages of their travels including check-in, boarding, flying, arrival and transfer if needed. For more details, please contact Aeroflot to purchase the service. Regarding the rules about the travels of underaged kids without parents’ supervision of other airlines, contact them directly.
If you have any questions about flights, airport pick-up, or travel arrangements, please reach out to your JDI contact — we’re here to help.
