Flights
Q.
Do you arrange flights all over the world or only to
the United States?
A.
Yes. We only have our Super Saver Airfares
traveling to the USA listed on this web site as they are the most frequently requested fares, but we can arrange travel for you anywhere by plane.
Q. What does availability mean and how does it effect the price of a
plane ticket?
A.
All of our prices and ability to book at those prices are
contingent on seat availability. There are only so many seats available in certain price
categories, and naturally, the seats that are cheaper fill a lot faster. That means that once those seats are full we will no longer be able to offer you the lowest price, however
our agents are masterful at searching for other inexpensive ways for you to get where
you want to go.
Q. Do you offer flights out of Ramstein, or MAC flight service?
A.
No, RTT deals only with commercial carriers, and with that we have no privileges on military aircraft or using military air base flight services. We can arrange last minute, call and fly and same day service with any commercial carrier from any airport.
Q. Do you deal with Space A travel.
A. No. What we do offer is the next best alternative. With our call and fly same day service at bargain prices we can get you back in time if you cant get your Space A flight. We are a 10-minute walk from the MAC terminal on Ramstein Airbase, we can issue you your tickets and help you find a shuttle service that will get you to Frankfurt International Airport in time for your flight.
Q.
I want to book a flight for a relative in
the United States to come and visit me in Europe are they eligible

on-line through the use of our Flight Inquiry System or by phone
with your credit card, and we will UPS the tickets to you for an additional fee.
Bus Tours
Q.
Do you have any special tours over the Winter
Holidays, Easter, Spring Break etc?
A.
Yes! RTT is a booking agent for many different tour companies, who always have special tours for all
occasions- see the seasonal tours in our Tours Section. You can also join our
mailing list and be notified as new and seasonal tours become available via
email.
Q. What does
the bus tour confirmation mean?
A.
For a tour to be confirmed a minimum participation is needed.
We urge all clients to book in advance, at the latest 4 days prior to the tour
departure. For example, whether or not a tour will be confirmed is decided three days prior to the
tour
departure. If a minimum participation level has not been reached, the tour will be cancelled. (If more people were to book
earlier, the participation level would rise high enough to prevent the tour from being cancelled. Many people wait until the last minute to book the tour they want, and had they booked several days earlier, they would have been the additional passengers needed to meet the minimum participation level).
Q. The tour I wanted to go on was cancelled and I have already paid.
A. You will
receive a full refund.
Q. Will the tour guide speak English?
A. Yes, all of RTT and all the
bus tour companies RTT
contracts provide English speaking guides.
Q. I want to plan a special group trip, can RTT do this?
A.
Yes, we can provide custom tours, or a bus and driver depending on your
needs, see our group tours section.

General
Q.I am panning a trip, and want to know about distances and time of travel, will RTT be able to provide me with this information?

Q. Does RTT provide maps and information on Europe and its highlights.
A. No. These are available for purchase at all BookMarks and military gas stations.
Misc.
Q. Can I buy tickets to Paris Disney or other theme parks through RTT.
A. Most of the theme parks in Europe do not permit external ticket purchase outside of their own booking agents or organizations, so currently RTT can not provide this service. We can provide
theme park packages which include your hotel accommodations in hotels surrounding the
parks and including your entrance tickets to the parks.
Q.
Where is RTT located?
A.
We are located in the KMC Center, Ramstein Air Force Base,
Germany.

A. Yes, we do.
Click here to join and you will receive the latest info about tours, flights, and special holiday packages conveniently delivered to

Q. What countries do I need visas or passports to enter.
A. Eurom form
80 has been phased
out, so traveling Europe using an ID is highly discouraged. ID cards will
not be accepted at European borders as valid migration and travel
documentation. For this reason follow the policy that you need a
valid US tourist passport to travel on our tours.
