Are you traveling to West Point by yourself? If so, you need to go through the travel service so they can arrange ground transportation and a hotel room for you. Check in the Information for Candidates Offered Admission Packet for more info. It says there is a link to the travel agency through your candidate portal. It is my understanding if you have already purchased an airline ticket on your own, you can turn in your receipt and be reimbursed for the amount of a government ticket from your home. That is what we are doing because we are traveling with our son. The government amount will probably be less than the amount you paid - at least it is for the ticket we purchased for our son. Hope this helps.
