This practice can easily deceive students into believing that insurance is required for travelers. Such marketing is deceptive and does not provide students with a true choice. Logistics Flights and Accomodations One of the primary attractions of a spring break travel package for students is that the company will arrange every logistic in advance. This removes the burden of trip planning from the student. This also means, however, that a great many details are not within the control of the travelers, allowing a greater chance for details and logistics to go wrong.
Flights are one area where students are easily misled.
In their terms and conditions, companies reserve the right to alter departure dates, times, and even cities. Brian Hoffner, a 2000 graduate of Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, took a spring break trip to Cancun in the Spring of 2000. His flight was originally scheduled to depart from Baltimore International airport, but he was told at the airport that his flight was actually leaving from Newark, New Jersey. The entire time we were told that we were flying out of Baltimore, said Hoffner. Once he and his friends took off, they figured their troubles were over.
