비행기로 도착

총회 참석을 위해 항공편을 이용하는 경우, you must make your flight reservations before you register (the registration deadline is April 24). To make your reservations, contact The Travel Advantage at 800-553-6643 and ask for Kayla or Missy. When you call, please indicate that you are making airline reservations for the RCA General Synod so that your tickets are charged directly to the RCA (travel costs for corresponding delegates are covered by their sending body). The Travel Advantage will take care of all arrangements for you and will work to find the most reasonable airfare available. Through our relationship with The Travel Advantage, the RCA receives credits for travel used throughout the year and receives direct contributions to its mission and ministry. We will not reimburse tickets that are not booked through the Travel Advantage.

Note: If you hope to arrive early or stay late, there are several important points of information you need to know before booking airfare or registering, so please read the FAQ section on "Arriving Early or Staying Late."

Tucson International Airport is the primary airport for the General Synod. RCA-provided shuttle service will be available for delegates arriving on Wednesday, June 12, and Thursday, June 13, and for delegates leaving immediately following closing worship on Tuesday, June 18. Please see the schedule below to plan accordingly. The drive from Tucson airport is between 30 and 45 minutes, but the timing of shuttles may result in up to a 90-minute wait at the airport. For this reason, if you are flying in on the day synod begins (Thursday, June 13), please book a flight with an arrival time of noon or earlier local time if you will be flying into Tucson. If your arrival time would be later than noon, you should consider flying in on Wednesday instead.

Anyone planning to arrive outside of these shuttle hours or at a different airport than Tucson International Airport will be responsible to schedule and pay for their own transportation from the airport to the Westin. Our transportation service will monitor incoming flights – if there is a delay on a scheduled flight that would cause one to miss the 10:00 p.m. shuttle, RCA and the transportation service will still provide transportation. 

셔틀 서비스

11:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. – last shuttle will leave the airport at 10:00 p.m. sharp on Wednesday!

Specific shuttle times will be added later.

When you arrive at the Westin, you will need to check in at the hotel front desk to get your room key. This is a separate check in from the General Synod’s check in process. General Synod check-in for registered attendees of General Synod will be in the lobby of the Westin La Paloma from 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 12, and 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 13. Here you will receive your name badge (which also serves as your meal ticket) and other important items. 

Special note to voting delegates: If you are a voting delegate and plan to arrive at synod late or leave prior to the end of the meeting on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m., your classis or regional synod clerk MUST contact Liz Brand, director of General Synod operations, at lbrand@rca.org to give approval. It is your responsibility to contact your stated clerk to let them know you need to arrive late or leave early, and request that they contact Liz. Voting delegates must attend all meetings of the General Synod unless excused by the Committee of Reference. The General Synod will not pay for last-minute flight changes without prior authorization of the sending body (prior to the meeting) or the General Synod’s Committee of Reference (during the meeting).

항공 여행 팁

  • 간혹 가방을 분실하는 경우가 있습니다. 위탁 수하물과 기내 수하물 모두에 이름과 연락처가 적힌 수하물 태그를 부착하세요.
  • RCA는 대리인에게 위탁 수하물 1개 왕복에 대해 환급해 드립니다. 영수증을 보관하세요.
  • 의약품 등 분실할 염려가 없는 물품으로 기내 반입 수하물을 포장하세요., toiletries (in TSA-approved sizes), and a change of clothes. Keep electronics such as laptops and tablets in carry-on luggage to protect them; do not place laptops or tablets in checked luggage.
  • 다른 사람의 도움을 거의 또는 전혀 받지 않고 편안하게 운반할 수 있는 짐을 가져가세요. 바퀴가 달린 여행 가방이 가장 편리합니다.

기내 휴대 수하물에 대한 공항 요구 사항

  • 모든 액체, 젤, 에어로졸은 3.4온스(또는 그 이하) 용기에 담겨야 합니다. 치약처럼 반쯤 찼거나 말아놓은 큰 용기는 다음과 같습니다. 허용되지 않음 미국 교통안전국에 의해 폐기됩니다.
  • 이러한 모든 용기는 쿼트 크기의 지퍼 탑 투명 비닐봉투 하나에 넣어야 합니다. 갤런 크기 봉투나 지퍼가 없는 봉투(접이식 샌드위치 봉투 등)는 허용되지 않습니다. 각 여행객은 쿼트 사이즈의 지퍼 탑 투명 비닐봉투를 하나만 사용할 수 있습니다. 
  • At the airport, you will likely be asked to remove these plastic zip-top bags from your carry-on for X-ray screening. This will allow TSA security officers to more easily examine the items. (This varies depending upon airport.)
  • Depending on the airport, you may also be asked to remove laptops and other large electronics from your carry-on and send them through the X-ray machine separately. TSA agents at the security checkpoint will give you instructions.
  • For other questions about what is permitted in carry-on vs. checked baggage, see the TSA website [link to https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/all-list]. The list is quite detailed (and in some cases, humorous. Check out the entry for “light saber.” Who knew the TSA had a sense of humor?).
  • 대부분의 항공사는 여행자당 기내 반입 수하물 1개와 배낭이나 지갑과 같은 개인 물품 1개를 허용합니다. 수하물이 더 많은 경우 일부 수하물을 통합하거나 위탁하라는 요청을 받을 가능성이 높습니다.
