Options:
•
#1: Return to Columbus and book individual travel
to your home airport
•
#2: Contact Delta once we are ticketed to change
your flight manually (fee will be incurred)
•
#3: Give up final leg of flight (ATL-CMH) and book
your own one-way from ATL to your home airport
(may be cheapest)

(cont):
•
Given individual preferences, preferred arrival
home, financial limitations, and other details,
participants will make their own decisions in regard
to flight changes
•
However, I am happy to offer assistance if need be!
