transportation*, providing the departure takes place on the date the
course starts, and if possible coordinate to bring other course
participants. Please note bridge fares in Denmark are included in the
km allowance and not to be reimbursed separately.
*) You will be refunded 3.67 DKK per km according to Danish Tax Authority

and you should not be required to cover the cost
yourself. Please have your travel/accommodation
booking details printed out and with you. If hotel
still requires payment, please call Amex.

arranged and paid for you by MSS, lunch is
normally provided by the course vendor. Please
