Travel to Spain

TSA Regulations

The Transportation Security Administration regulates what items may be carried aboard the aircraft and, as these regulations are subject to change frequently, you should consult their website close to your date of departure. Possessing certain items while going through security may result in fines or, in the case of firearms, may be considered a criminal offense.

Airline Luggage Regulations

Students should contact their airline to confirm exact luggage allowances. We strongly suggest you follow these guidelines, or be prepared to pay excess baggage fees, which can be quite expensive. We also suggest that you consider insuring your luggage through a comprehensive travel insurance policy. For a list of providers please see: www.insuremytrip.com.

Travel Arrangements

Students are responsible for their own travel arrangements. We recommend using a student travel agency for flexibility and the best rates:

• edreams.com
• tripcuts.com
• studentuniverse.com
• cheaptickets.com/
• google.es/flights/
• https://www.skyscanner.es/

Consult your calendar when planning your travel dates:
Undergraduate calendars
Graduate calendar

To help you adjust to the time difference and settle into a new environment, we strongly recommend arriving one or two days before the first day of orientation. It is especially important that you not plan your return to the United States nor travel to another destination before the date of the last final exam. Exam dates will not be changed to accommodate students’ travel plans. No exceptions will be made.
