what is IYE

The International Youth Exchange is a great opportunity for youth to use their flight benefits and experience another culture. It is a wonderful chance to meet new people and see another part of our world.

Youth of airline families are matched with another youth of an airline family abroad. The matched youth choose two different two-week periods during the summer to do the exchange. One youth travels abroad the first two-week period and then the second youth travels abroad the other two-week period.

Since they are together at both homes, youth of airline families are able to learn about another country from someone of similar age.
