Vai Travel can assist with personal air tickets for you and/or your travel companion and we are happy to extend the NASEM agency fee that is in effect at the time of booking. Note that for personal tickets, three itineraries/options are included with the fee, which is payable in advance.

For companion tickets that are booked in conjunction with a NASEM traveler, the current NASEM agency fee will apply.

Streamline your hotel rooming list management with Vai Travel! We will generate rooming lists from air and rail tickets booked through us, ensuring a hassle-free experience for your travelers. Participants booking independently or without the need for an air/rail ticket can also be added to the rooming list by contacting us directly. This efficient process not only simplifies your workflow but also reduces the risk of attrition.
