Somewhere new. With the right people.

You are not expected to. The room is composed rather than filled, which is the reason why. The desk speaks to everyone before the journey, seats you deliberately at the first dinner, and by the second night the table has stopped being strangers. Most people arrive alone.

Most requests come from people travelling alone. The desk meets you before you travel and arranges rooming for you. Twin sharing is the default. A single room can be arranged at additional cost, and the desk tells you what it costs before you decide.

Composed rather than filled. The desk builds each room deliberately and tells you its shape before anything is paid.

Say so on your request and it is handled before anything is booked. Vegetarian, Jain, halal or an allergy, the desk arranges around it. Hosted meals are chosen with the whole table in mind, not adapted at the last minute.

It depends on the destination, and the rules move. The desk tracks entry requirements for each journey and tells the table exactly what applies, well before departure. Where a visa or an arrival card is needed, the desk prepares it with you. The application stays in your name.

Not very. These are concerts, races and cities, not treks. Where a journey asks anything of you the desk says so beforehand, and there is always a way to sit something out and meet the table after.

The table is composed for the mid twenties to mid forties. There is no hard limit. The desk tells you the shape of the table, and roughly who else is in the room, before you pay anything.

The table comes from several cities and everyone meets at the destination. Flights sit outside the price, which leaves you free to fly from wherever you are and on whatever you hold points with. The desk advises on timings so you land inside the window the transfers cover.

Yes. Tell the desk and your hotel nights are arranged around the journey, at your cost. Several people stay on. The desk will point you at what is worth doing and book it if you want.

When the room is composed. Tickets and hotels are held against the table, so the desk stops taking requests once the seats are spoken for rather than on a fixed date. Early requests are read first, not preferred.
