EF Traveler's Handbook - Your Personalized Web Site

One of the topics in the EF Traveler’s Handbook brochure is your personalized website with EF. If you haven’t logged on to this site, then you might want to bookmark it and take a look at it from time to time.

Simply go to the EF login website, enter your account number as the username and, for first time users, your password default is your date of birth: mm/dd/yyyy. Once logged on, then EF recommends you change your password for security reasons.

From this site you can manage your account, make payments, and view your payment plan.

In the left box, click “Tour Details” and view the itinerary. Now click on the “Destinations” tab and get more information. The video and photo gallery aren’t much for Greece, but the “History” tab has a lot of information. Here you can also find a map of Greece. Much closer to departure, you’ll also be able to find hotel and flight information here. Here too you can request special travel arrangements, but please note there is a charge if you do so.

In that same box, “Countdown to Travel” tells you how many days to departure and then provides a list of deadlines pertaining to payments.

Click on “My Profile” and make sure all information is correct. In particular, make sure your first, middle, and last name match your passport EXACTLY (or your birth certificate if you don’t have a passport yet…still time to get one after the new year). Do not use nicknames, abbreviations, etc. The name in your EF profile will be used for airline e-tickets, and if it does not match your passport name exactly, you will have problems boarding the plane. There is a charge to change the spelling with EF if you wait too long. Please check your profile now.
