En Route

Don’t Forget!
When packing, do not forget to bring the following documents:

  • Passport
  • NGO Travel Identification (if necessary): for those who have booked through Raptim and it is indicated as a condition of your booking fare, please bring along identification that will show you work for an NGO/missionary agency; the formal invitation letter to General Council which was sent with registration confirmations suffices for this purpose; if you need a copy of this, please write to registration@wcrc.eu
  • Insurance letters (these have also been sent by Council Registration)

Emergency Contacts
If you experience any problems—delays, missed connections, etc—please first work with the airline on which you are traveling. If you need additional assistance and booked your tickets through the Council’s travel office, please contact Florian Geldermann of Raptim Humanitarian Travel at: +49 (0)151 646 23544. If you did not book your flights through the Council travel office but are in need of assistance, please be in touch with Katrina Mertz via email gctravel@wcrc.eu or call the participant emergency number: +49 (0)175 6060734

Transfers
Transfers are included for all those subsidized participants whose travel is being arranged through the Council travel office (and its travel agent, Raptim); transfer tickets will be sent directly in June.

For all other participants (whether you booked your flights through Raptim or not), transfers via bus in Germany can be purchased at a reduced cost through Raptim. Please contact Peter Cordewiener at cordewiener@raptim.de. He can also assist in the purchase of train tickets.

Stewards wearing red t-shirts and holding General Council/WCRC signs will meet participants at Leipzig airport, the central train station and the Messe train station and move them along to the Leipzig Messe for registration upon arrival.

For any questions on transfer arrangements, please write to: werner.keil@wcrc.eu for more information.
