The Elephant - Full Color Tan - Butler Travel

“I have used Butler Travel for many years now, and I would not want to work with anyone else. At the very onset of COVID-19, when our mission team could not fly to Peru at the last moment, Butler Travel worked tirelessly to get as much of our money returned to us as they could. They went way above and beyond what was “required” to do because they cared so much. They go beyond the regular travel agent duties to impact people’s lives and travel in an excellent manner and always with joy and care.”

Humanitarian Travel FAQ

How many people can I take?

As many as you can fit on the airplane! We plan travel for individuals and mission or humanitarian groups of all sizes. Group sizes of at least 10-15 qualify for group tickets and keep as many members as possible on the same itinerary.

How far in advance should I book group tickets?

Booking as early as 11 months in advance will give us the most flexibility to find ideal flights and stretch your dollar. But in a crunch, plan on booking at least 6 months in advance to get the benefits of group tickets.

In the case of an emergency or other last-minute travel plan, we can book at any time depending upon availability.

What are the benefits of group tickets?

Booking a group ticket has several advantages:

Channel flight communication through one point-of-contact for your group
Reserve space on the flight before it fills up
Ensure the same price for everyone in your group
Depending on the airline, change names on tickets 3-7 days before the flight if plans change

What if I don’t have a planned return date?

We can still help! We see this scenario most often with emergency volunteers and student missionaries who will be in a country for an extended time, but can’t book a one-way flight because of visa requirements. If needed, we can book a temporary return ticket that will be canceled upon arrival and rebook when the return dates are set.

How many bags can I take?

Let us know if you have unique baggage needs! It does depend on the airline and ticket, but we strive to plan flights with your baggage needs in mind to avoid baggage nightmares like getting charged by the kilogram.

Does Butler Travel assist with visas?

We’re happy to give you a flight itinerary that some countries require to start the visa application process, but we are not able to help with or process the visa application itself.

Are service fees also incurred with group booking?

Yes, service fees are charged per ticket and included in the quote.

Are you able to help with complicated itineraries or hard to reach destinations?

Yes. We are able to help you get where you need to go and find the best routes to get you there. We simplify complicated itineraries by breaking them down into sections.
