Due to the Salesian Sisters’ broad network of support across the country, we anticipate that most of the travelers joining this pilgrimage will make their own flight arrangements under the “Land Only” price offered by Kingdom Tours.

However, due to a large concentration of support in both the San Antonio (SAT) and Austin (AUS) areas, Kingdom Tours intends to offer a group airfare option from one or both of those airports, provided that we have confirmed interest from at least 10 or more travelers to take advantage of said group airfare.

If you are from one of the aforementioned areas and would like to be informed of any further group airfare updates, please indicate your interest on your registration forms or send us an email at info@kingdomtours.us with the subject line “Salesian Flights”.

Why 10 travelers? 

This is the minimum number of travelers necessary to secure a group booking.

What is the anticipated price of the group airfare?

May is always a popular time to visit Italy and 2025 also happens to be a Jubilee year. These factors have caused airfare prices to rise beyond normal levels and have reduced the number of itineraries available to large groups of travelers.

Currently, the price of roundtrip airfare from SAT and AUS range between $1,800-$2,000/person (Basic Economy + 1 checked bag). We are constantly monitoring these prices and intend to lock in the lowest possible rate for our travelers, hopefully securing a rate that is closer to the $1,500/person average of this and previous years.

When is the group airfare finalized?

Kingdom Tours will not finalize group airfare until after the Final payment date of January 23, 2025. Prior to this date, those who have indicated interest in group airfare will receive a communication advising them of the final price – the cost of which will be added to the balance of their final payment.

What if the group airfare price is too high?

Prior to the final payment date, travelers are welcome to switch back to a "Land Only" status/price without penalty. However, Kingdom Tours must be notified of this change prior to the final payment date. 

Note: Registering for this pilgrimage means that, at minimum, you are agreeing to travel under the terms and conditions of a Land Only traveler.
