Who will meet me in the airport? What should I do if I get delayed or miss a flight? When should I arrive?

Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi is your destination and arrival point for your volunteer travel to Kenya, so please book your flight to Delhi. Even if participants are joining a program elsewhere in the country, IFRE suggests participants arrive in Delhi as the Language and Cultural orientation programs only take place within our Delhi offices. One of IFRE's representatives will await your arrival at the airport. Participants should ensure pick-up by sending their flight information to IFRE's offices - a follow-up call is suggested as your departure date draws closer.

If volunteers are delayed or miss their flight, it is highly recommended that you call our offices or your coordinator and make alternative arrangements with them. In the event that a volunteer gets lost, our general suggestion that they go to the specific contact hotel (provided within the pre-departure package) using a pre-paid taxi service. There is an office offering pre-paid taxi services inside the airport. Please do not use outside taxies. Once participants make contact with IFRE's representative or in-country coordinator, they will then be transferred to IFRE's respective offices/hostel.

Volunteers traveling to India are suggested to arrive one day before the start of program. The program fee will cover expenses beginning of the first day of the program (Usually first or third Monday) to the last day of the program. If you arrive before the first day of the program and/or stay beyond the last day of the program, expenses will be the responsibility of the volunteer (usually $30 per day for room/food at the homebase).
