One of the most frequently asked questions by participants applying for the Work and Travel program is when to purchase their plane tickets. While some participants prefer buying tickets before their visa interviews, many students choose to buy them before the visa interview. However, the determining factor for when to buy the ticket largely depends on your budget.
Typically, plane tickets are purchased after students participate in the visa interview and receive approval. The crucial next step for students with approved visas is to promptly secure their plane tickets because delaying the purchase can increase the costs. Depending on the student’s preference, it’s also possible to buy tickets before the visa interview, and doing so earlier may offer cost advantages.
Every Work and Travel student is required to purchase a round-trip plane ticket. Ticket prices vary between $600 and $900 on average, influenced significantly by factors such as departure city, destination, layovers, dates, and times.
Choosing the right agency when buying a plane ticket is crucial based on your budget. Some companies offer discounted prices, while others may not provide any discounts. Additionally, the company’s reputation and reliability should be researched.
