Keep in mind Spirit Airlines charges for everything, so travel light. You are charged for bags on the way out AND on the way back. There is a link below for all the baggage charge info. Baggage charges are cheaper if done ahead of time online. If you know you're going to have baggage charges for carry on or checked luggage, bring me the money and I'll take care of it online.

In order to do this, we must act quickly. The only affordable airline tickets are for Spirit Airlines out of Atlanta. We want to reserve these tickets immediately and are asking for you to bring a $250 deposit Thursday, October 8, to the career center (checks payable to ACTC) so we can order the tickets.

Hotel costs - estimated to be about $100 per student total for the two nights, will be collected by the day of the trip. Food and entertainment costs are also extra, though breakfast and lunch Saturday are covered.

​More details to come.
