CHOLET EXCHANGE UPDATE - March 28, 2013 (75 days!)
I just spoke with Melissa from EF. We now have our flight schedule. The quick summary: All flights are on Air Canada. We'll fly Cleveland to Toronto to Paris and just the reverse on the way back. Times are good too. These just may be the best flight arrangements I've ever had through EF! We're not going "the wrong way" to Chicago or Frankfurt. We're not leaving Fairview in the middle of the night. I like this.
Tuesday, June 11, 2013
Flight 7906 leaves Cleveland, OH at 6:00 pm, arrives at Toronto Pearson at 7:08 pm
Flight 880 leaves Toronto at 8:40 pm.
Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Flight 880 arrives at Paris Charles de Gaulle Terminal 2A (not the one in "La Boum", but there's a TGV station there!) at 9:45 am Paris time (3:45 am Fairview time)
Wednesday, June 26, 2013
Flight 881 leaves CDG at 11:00 am Paris time (5 am in Fairview), lands at Toronto Pearson at 1:00 pm.
Flight 7905 leaves Toronto at 4:25 pm, arrives in Cleveland at 5:33 pm.
I will now work on transportation from Fairview to Cleveland and back as well as transportation from Paris to Cholet on June 19 and Cholet to Paris on June 26. On June 11 we should plan to leave Fairview High School at approximately 1 pm since it is recommended we arrive 3 hours in advance for international flights. We will use a school bus since I have already worked that out at no cost to you. But with a group as small as ours, if a couple families would be willing to volunteer to carpool us, we could look into that, too. My only fear with that is if one vehicle had car troubles, we'd all be running late (unless another car came along "just in case"). Parents, let me know your thoughts.
For Paris to Cholet and back, we are looking at train travel. This would be much cheaper that reserving a bus (which we normally do with larger groups) since the cost of the bus is divided by the number of passengers.
