You can download the app four times per passenger using the same email login and password. Feel free to pass it along to your family to follow along on the itinerary!

How do I log into the ACIS Travel App?

The Travel App log in is not the same as your MyAccount. The Travel App uses your primary email address as the Log In, and if you don’t know your password just press “Forgot Password”. If you have used the same email address for multiple accounts then you will have one log in for all travelers.

What do I do if I forgot/never received my password?

Once you are within 60 days before your departure, you should go to App Store for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad and Google Play for Android. Enter the email that you gave ACIS as your primary email contact and press “forgot password”. The password will be emailed to you.

Are there any roaming charges associated with using my ACIS Travel App?

There are no roaming charges associated with using the travel app. When you have access to a Wi-Fi connection (at your hotel, a cafe or anywhere else that offers a free wireless connection), you can sync any pending updates. This means you will be able to display your updates from your trip journal and share them with other travelers at any time.
