Travel Documents & Shipping Questions
Travel Documents
Depending on what your package includes, documents may consist of paper air tickets or air itinerary and e-ticket receipt, hotel vouchers, sightseeing vouchers, car rental voucher, rail tickets, and/or vouchers for other services you have purchased. Documents for an Escorted Tour may be issued upon arrival at your destination directly from the local tour provider.
Documents are typically sent 2-3 weeks prior to departure date. If you do not receive your tickets within 2 weeks of your departure date, please contact us immediately.
An e-ticket is an electronic airline ticket. Using an e-ticket is just like using a normal airline ticket. You still must present your passport at check-in, usually accompanied by a second form of identification and your passenger receipt. Not every go-today package is available with e-tickets.
Passport and visa requirements vary by country and nationality.
If you hold a US Passport and are traveling to Europe, a visa is generally not required. A visa is required to enter Turkey. If you are traveling to certain Eastern European countries, a visa may be required.
If you hold a US Passport and are traveling to Asia or Central or South America, visa requirements vary by country. Click here for more information.
If you hold a passport from another country, check with each country you are visiting for the exact passport and/or visa requirements.
It is the sole responsibility of each passenger to obtain the necessary documents for travel, including passports and visas.
We recommend using Swift Passport Services as a simple and reliable source for this process.

Hotels and car rental companies require a credit card at the time of check-in/pick-up. In the event you do not have a valid credit card, a cash deposit will be requested. The amount of this deposit varies depending on the hotel/car rental company; however, it can be as much as $500. Aside from deposits, a credit card can be very useful in the event of an emergency. We strongly recommend that you travel with a valid credit card.
