Share Partner FAQ's

I want to share a room with another delegate?
You will have the opportunity during registration to advise your preferred share partner. Please advise their passport name. Twin share partners must be staying the same nights (if you are staying 3 nights due to your group flights, your share partner must also be travelling on group flights on the same dates).

My share partner and I have both qualified and want a Queen Room (i.e. one bed)
Select a TWIN room during your registration and in the “Share Person” box, please enter your partner’s name with "partner" in brackets, e.g. Share Partner: James Smith (Husband, FCTG Winner). Ensure you also indicate in the Special Requests box that you want a Queen Bed Room. The Global Gathering Team will manually change your room type once your registration is received. 

What if I want to change my share partner after registering? 
Should you wish to change your room share partner, you will need to email the change in writing to gg@fcmtravel.com.au before midnight on Wednesday 3 July 2024. After this date, no further changes will be accepted. NB Twin share allocation (ie share partners) will be allocated to those delegates travelling same dates only.

What if my share partner cancels their attendance at the last minute? 
A new share partner will be assigned. Alternatively, you may email gg@fcmtravel.com.au to arrange to pay a single supplement (subject to availability - see the Own Room/Single Supplement information below).

I’m bringing my friend / family member / partner to Lisbon – can they stay in my room? 
Yes, however you will need to book your own room (see the Own Room/Single Supplement information below). All single rooms have Queen beds. Twin rooms with 2 x beds are currently being reserved for the main group. You can request a twin room on the registration site; however, it is subject to availability and cannot be confirmed until everyone has registered (Friday 5 July 2024). If you would like to guarantee your own room with two beds, we recommend booking your own accommodation. If you choose to do this, you will not be reimbursed. 
 
Please note: Family, partners, friends and non-qualifying staff are not eligible to attend any official Global Gathering Events. 

I would like to check-in early/secure a late check-out?
Early check in can only be guaranteed if you book and pay for a room for the night prior to your arrival. Late check outs can only be guaranteed if you book and pay for a room for the night of your departure. See below for information regarding booking extra nights. Otherwise, baggage storage will be arranged for the group, and we recommend packing a day pack for use when your room is not available.

Own Room / Single Supplement FAQ's

Twin share accommodation is provided for all attendees from 12-14 July 2024. There are a few nations that will be provided with an extra night due to flight schedules. Single rooms (Queen Bed) will be available on a first come, first serve basis, as part of the registration process.

A Single Supplement cost AU $160.00 per night is applicable, and if selected will be payable immediately at the time of booking by Credit Card. Pre-tax salary sacrifice and myRewards as payments are not an option. 

Please Note: All single rooms are Queen beds. Rooms with two beds are currently being reserved for the main group. You can request a room with two beds, however it is subject to availability and cannot be determined until everyone has registered (Friday 5 July 2024). 

THIS PAYMENT WILL BE NON-REFUNDABLE.
