How will I book travel?
Starting in 2025, all travel bookings will be made through our trusted vendor, Egencia. This easy-to-use platform allows you to choose your preferred flights with just a few clicks, offering a seamless experience similar to booking personal travel. Best of all, you won’t need to use your personal credit card, 3-Day will handle payments directly. Egencia also provides flexible options to suit your schedule and preferences. Please reach out to travel@the3day.org with any specific Egencia questions.
Do I have to claim this flight benefit?
No. While we are happy to offer this to our dedicated fundraisers, anyone can decline their flight benefit. Please mark that in the survey which will be sent to you via email.
Can I transfer my reward to a teammate or family member if I’m unable to participate?
No. Only the participant who has earned the reward may use the travel ticket. It is non-transferable.
Once I meet my fundraising requirement, how long will it be before I can book my air travel?
Beginning in May you’ll hear from us and from our vendor Egencia, within 10 days of reaching the fundraising minimum ($5,000 for all participation types).
What are my options for the dates of my flights?
The window for booking flights is up to 14 days before the event and depart up to 7 days post event. You can choose whichever day you would like. In order to be cost-effective and continue to return as much as we can to the cause, we cannot book flights outside of that window.
What should I do if my plans change after I’ve already received my ticket?
If your plans change, you can easily modify your flight directly through your carrier or airline. Keep in mind that you may be subject to price differences or change fees imposed by the airline. Always review the airline’s specific policies regarding changes or cancellations to understand any potential fees. To request cancellations or for additional support, please contact travel@the3day.org
My flight times were changed! What should I do?
The easiest way to keep track of your flight changes is to become a member of your airline's frequent flier account. In that account, you can add your trip and get notified of any changes to the schedule as they happen. If the airline changes are too drastic and will not work for your 3-Day event travel, please contact the 3-Day travel team at travel@the3day.org.
What if I do not participate in the 3-Day event? Can I still use my ticket?
No. If you do not attend the 3-Day or the event is cancelled, your ticket is void. The tickets are not transferrable to travel outside of a 3-Day event.
Can I choose which night I want my hotel room for?
No. For 3-Day Walkers and crew members, this must be a Thursday night hotel room. For 2-Day Walkers, this must be a Friday night hotel room. For 1-Day Walkers, this must be a Saturday night hotel room.
Does it matter which room type I select?
No. You may select from any room types available in the host hotel room options.
May I invite other people to share my hotel room with me?
Yes. Your Thursday night hotel room reservation is your own, and you may share the room with others if you wish.
I am bringing a personal vehicle and the hotel information outlines parking fees. Do I have to pay for those?
Yes. Your Travel Ticket does not include parking fees for personal vehicles.
If I share a room with another person who earned the reward, can we have two nights paid?
No. Only one night hotel room will be covered. For 3-Day walkers and crew members, this must be a Thursday night hotel room. For 2-Day walkers, this must be a Friday night hotel room. For 1-Day walkers, this must be a Saturday night hotel room.
Can I transfer my room to a teammate if I am unable to participate?
No. Only the participant who has earned the reward may use the hotel stay.
