I've not heard of tours specifically aimed at undergraduates - didn't know that KenAir had done this! Now, there are tour companies at different price points, and some who focus on younger people and older people. Just google and see what there is? I don't know who does what.
Hi zeit,
Last time, years ago,
for local undergraduates who wish to join Europe tour, they can join KenAir tour group. But since KenAir has closed down, is there an equivalent similar tour group for uni undergrads, to tour Europe ? Is it called Trafalgar Square or something like that ? The students will stay in motel, not hotel (something like that). Thanks, for info
There is a tour company called Trafalgar Tours, which has lower price points compared to some other companies such as Insight. And Contiki focuses on the younger age groups. Not sure what else there is these days. For the more travel-savvy, DIY travel is so much easier these days with internet, GPS etc. -
I suppose DIY trips would be lesser hassle provided the symptoms are not severe?

Depends, as will need to navigate the logistics. It is the peak season for travelling, may not be possible to secure additional room for isolation or extend stay in same hotel, if multiple destinations tour, last minute. And last minute rates can be quite unpredictable. If the check-out is next day, system may not even accept online nooking after midnight

Not all clinics accept walk-in and some may require declaration that visit is not Covid related when making appointment online.
And if infected very close to departure date, please note regulation(s) on boarding a commercial vehicle.
Also need note the terms and conditions of the air-tickets - changeable, cancellable. May or may not be easy to get help from airline to make rnquiries on their policies.
On top of all these, need be able to \"divine\" how severe or not severe the symptoms will be over next few days.
Having a tour guide means some of the change arrangements can be outsourced. 安心养病 -

Yes, all these are VERY important.

Example
Touch wood !
In the event unfortunately caught covid overseas and need ICU immediately, and say, hospital condition abroad overseas over there no good, or dont have the right drug medication to treat you, so want to quickly fly back to Singapore for better ICU treatment, how to ensure that got 2 seats available, quickly ? One seat for patient, another seat for care-giver ?
Because some flight departure on certain days only, may not be immediate tomorrow. But your lungs, respiratory system cannot wait so long, for medical treatment. One day delay means equal to further deterioration of your lungs, bec the new virus variant strain are attacking the entire respiratory system fast.
Even if say, manage to get 2 air tickets to fly back to Singapore immediately, assuming that u are lucky, the last minute air tickets purchased, can be very expensive. Because Is last minute, then u buy -
nobody wants to catch covid esp when overseas where medical aids may not be easily accessible to foreigners ie us.
I totally agree that we shld mask up as much as we can when overseas. -

What's the expiry date? The cynic in me thinks that they are trying to distribute them before they expire! The latest lot (earlier this year) had an expiry date of May 23, I think, while the earlier ones had an expiry date of Sep 23. This round?
