| Round Trip Airfare |
 Most of our vacations include round trip airfare in the tour price. AFC uses only major airlines such as United, American, Continental, Delta, America West, and Air Canada amongst others.
We offer the option of flying out of 7 Southern California airports, including San Diego, Orange County, Long Beach, LAX, Ontario, Burbank, and Palm Springs. We also offer included air from Phoenix and Las Vegas. (Not all airports are available on all tours and prices do vary.) This gives you the benefit of our purchasing power with the airlines and the flexibility of flying out of a choice of airports. Home shuttle is provided to the nearest airport included in that tour package (surcharge may apply from outlying areas).

| Leisurely Paced Itineraries |
 At AFC, we realize a well rested traveler is a happy traveler. Therefore, our itineraries are leisurely paced with the average day being from 8:30am or 9:00am to 4:30 or 5:00pm. We always have an excellent balance between sightseeing and free time. When we stay at top resorts, we like to arrive by 3:00pm so you can enjoy the resort's amenities before dinner. We usually include a half or full day of free time in the middle of an 8 or 9 day itinerary. All this attention to detail makes for a more enjoyable tour experience.

| Full Sightseeing & Admissions Included |
 Let's face it, people travel to see things! At AFC, we INCLUDE all the "must see" sightseeing and attractions. There are very few Optionals if any to purchase. This way, you will know the real cost of your tour before you leave home and will NOT be hit with 100's of dollars in over-priced optionals once on the tour.

| Special 'Behind-the-Scenes' Tours |
 Now this really sets AFC apart from our competiton.
