Travel Information
Know Before you go!
Please check your e-tickets carefully for accuracy. Ensure that your dates are correct and that your name is spelled as it appears on your passport. Please notify your registration team at bluediamond@lorandus.com if there are any discrepancies. Please note that once issued, your airline ticket is nonrefundable.
When possible, we recommend checking in online with your specific airline(s) 24 hours prior to departure. In some cases, this will not be possible. If this is the case, please allow a little extra time at the airport for check-in. If you would like to change your seating, this may also be done at time of check-in. Please review your e-tickets carefully for further instructions.
Please ensure you arrive at the airport at least 2 hours prior to your flight departure time for domestic flights. Your passport is required for check-in. Due to increased airport security measures, please be sure to leave ample time for check-in as late arrival could result in denied boarding.
For Canadian citizens traveling within Canada, one piece of valid (not expired) government-issued photo ID that includes name, and date of birth. Fishing, hunting, and boating licenses will not be accepted. Passports are recommended.
Please respect the safety regulations for all domestic flights. Knives, scissors, lighters, nail manicure sets, razors or any other sharp objects must be packed in your checked luggage. These items will not be allowed inside the plane cabin or in your carry-on baggage. Please refer to your specific airline for baggage restrictions and allowances. See the following webpage for a comprehensive list of security information for air travel is available online.

Travel Information

Instructions for arrival on July 13 (main program date)
As you arrive at Providenciales International Airport, you will proceed through passport control to the baggage claim. After retrieving your baggage from your assigned carousel, you will be met by our representatives holding Blue Diamond program signage as you exit the baggage terminal. You will then be escorted to your next exciting adventure. Welcome to Turks and Caicos!
Departure information will be shared with you upon arrival.
- English is the official language in Turks and Caicos, and you’ll find that locals are warm, welcoming and easy to communicate with. While you may hear local greetings or Creole expressions, everyone speaks fluent English and is happy to assist.
- While Turks and Caicos is known for its relaxed and safe atmosphere, it’s still important to stay aware of your surroundings. When exploring beaches or taking part in group excursions, stick with your group and follow your guide’s instructions.
- Be sure to pack sturdy footwear like sandals with support or lightweight sneakers. Many excursions include walking on sand, rocky paths or boat docks. Flip-flops are fine for the beach, but not ideal for tours or water-based adventures. A light waterproof jacket or sun-protective clothing is also a great idea for sudden showers or windy boat rides.
- To avoid wrinkled clothing, pack cotton and polyester blends – they wrinkle less than 100% cotton. You can also reduce wrinkles by leaving your clothes in the plastic bags dry cleaners use.
- If you carry prescription medications, keep them in the original labeled containers and pack them in your carry-on luggage. Please ensure you have a note from your doctor to acknowledge that you are taking certain medications. Your doctor or pharmacist should also provide you with a list of your medications, including the drug’s generic name (brand names may not be the same worldwide). Keep the name and phone numbers of your doctor and/or pharmacist handy. Customs agents can be very suspicious of unidentified pills.
- Take photocopies of your passport and health card in case it is lost or stolen while traveling. You may want to leave a copy at home with a spouse, significant other, friend or family member.
