MAPR Travel Guide

Congratulations on your acceptance to present your research at a conference!

Here are some tips to help guide you through the travel experience.

If you are receiving travel funds from the university, please keep your receipts (excluding meals) and remember to send them to the MAPR Program Coordinator, Olivia Reyes (ogr1@txstate.edu) , to close out your expense report for reimbursement.

Getting Boarding Tickets:

• Once you arrive to the airport, you can print out your boarding pass by going up to a kiosk and input your confirmation number (or Full name).

First Time Flying Tips:

• Check your ticket for the flight date and time. Many flights are missed because the ticket was misread.
• Check airline luggage requirements:
  • Are you allowed a vary on? If so, how many?
• Pack essentials in your carry on:
  • Glasses/contacts
    • Contact solution (≤ 3.4oz)
  • Prescription medication
• Wear easy to remove shoes
• Pack some headphones and/or book to stay entertained while you wait.
• Have important things like your wallet and boarding ticket readily available.
• The best practice is to arrive at the airport at least two hours early.
• Getting Boarding Tickets: Once you arrive at the airport, you can print out your airline tickets (boarding pass) at any available kiosk and input your confirmation number (check your email); follow the steps on the screen.
  • If you are having trouble, please speak to someone at the information desk.
• If you check a bag(s), you will need to get it tagged. There is usually a counter where you can speak to someone and get this taken care of. Look for a counter where they are weighing suitcases.
• Check on your flight/airline on the digital signboard.
