And even after 24 years, we still do it better than anyone else. Most of our tours involve charter vans just for AFC clients, so there are no unnecessary stops or circling at the airport. The driver's gratuity is always included and he picks up your bag from inside your home. Our home pick-up service extends to all 6 Southern California airports, plus San Antonio & Austin, Texas. AFC also arranges the airport or pier transportation and reconfirms it on your behalf. NEW Option for Pick-Up: Towncar Upgrade Service It is NOW possible to UPGRADE your home pickup to exclusive towncar service for an additional cost. There are MANY advantages to this service: • Exclusive direct service - no ride sharing • Travel in style with uniformed driver • Ultimate in convenience & dependability • On return arrival, be met by driver in baggage • Travel with your roommate (when neighbors) claim - car picks you up curbside Ask your AFC reservationist about this new service. Addtional costs will be quoted at the time of booking and will vary depending on distance from airport & car occupancy.

Superior Hotels, Chosen for Quality & Location What Are Magic Moments? At AFC Vacations, we believe in the following travel concept: Hotel Silberhorn Wengen Be a participant, not a spectator! Our operations staff in the office and your vacation manager in the field work extremely hard at getting you “up close and involved” with the destination and the people you are visiting. Most of the time these arrangements are researched and set up far in advance of your arrival. However, sometimes the best times are experiences that just happen during travel. A surprise local festival, a boat parade, a roadside fruit stand or a movie being filmed in town. Something that we have no prior notice of, but still make something special happen for you to see. Salmon Rapids Lodge Idaho These are called “Magic Moments” and it’s what every AFC escorted vacation is all about. Mohonk Mountain House Mountain View Grand Want to avoid the long lines and “strip down” at airport security check-in? Then take the time to enroll in TSA Pre Check In! For $85 per person (good for 5 years), skip the long lines at domestic airports and only remove your cell phone when going thru the X-Ray devices. Just go online and make an appointment at one of the many IndentoGO Centers in your city. Bring your government issued ID to the interview, have your photo taken, plus a fingerprint scan and 3 weeks later you have a “Known Traveler Number” and card. Then, just call Dave in our air department so he can add that number to your air ticketing information. And that’s it! For those that fly internationally, enroll in the Global Entry Program with US Customs ($100 per person for 5 years).
