2021-22 FLEX (NH 21 Academic Year) Arrival Dates
Please find tentative arrival dates for the NH21 Academic Year FLEX students below. Due to ongoing fluctuations in airline schedules and country entry/exit restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, all inbound dates are subject to change.
Local pick-ups: American Councils for International Education plans to use JFK and IAD for international arrivals (see arrival airports in chart below). Students who are placed nearby these airports need to be picked up on their actual, international arrival date, and will not overnight with the rest of the group. Please note that for IAD arrivals who are placed in the region, we cannot book flights to BWI or DCA. For arrivals who are placed in the JFK vicinity, we cannot book travel to LGA, EWR, HPN, or certain other regional airports.
