Please read below carefully to find the correct procedure for your specific travel situation. (If you do not notify the correct party, you may lose your Birthright trip deposit).
Before Departure from North America:
1. If you did NOT make an extension: If you are making your own return flight plans (or staying in Israel after your trip), meaning you do not want to use the return portion of your Birthright paid ticket home – and you are NOT extending to another date – then you MUST notify your Trip Organizer – not Gil Travel. This means you are forfeiting your return ticket. Your Trip Organizer will make the needed adjustments. Again, this is only if you are not extending.
2. If you DID make an extension:
a. If you have extended with Gil Travel and ARE using that flight, then there is no further action needed. As long as you received your email confirmation from us, then you’re good to go!
b. If you DID extend and received your confirmation, but now would like to forfeit that extension flight, then you MUST notify your Trip Organizer – not Gil Travel. This means you are forfeiting your return ticket. Your Trip Organizer will make the needed adjustments.
Once you are in Israel:
1. If you did NOT make an extension: If you are making your own return flight plans (or staying in Israel after your trip), meaning you do not want to use the return portion of your Birthright paid ticket home – and you are NOT extending your Birthright ticket to another date
