Antarctica

Flights are not included in the prices shown for our Antarctica tours. This is because many of our clients prefer to choose their own flight route to include a stopover on the way, or to extend their stay before or after the voyage. For this reason, unless flights are specified as included, as with our special group tours, we quote all flight and any additional ground arrangements required on an individual basis.
Our specialist team are on hand to advise you of your options and put together the best itinerary to suit your needs. Details of tour inclusions are given in our price guide and on our website.

PASSPORT & VISA INFORMATION

No visas are required by British subjects (being "Citizen of the United Kingdom"), or any citizen of an EC country, Australia, New Zealand, Canada or the United States (check eligibility under USA visa waiver programme at www.usembassy.org.uk) for the majority of destinations mentioned in this brochure. The exceptions are Russia and Australia. Our team will be happy to offer advice accordingly.

THE AIRLINES

Our preferred airlines are detailed below, though for our long-haul destinations a variety of routes and fares are often available. This not only provides scope for each of our clients to choose the best route to suit them, but also allows total flexibility to include stopovers along the way, or the most direct routings if time is limited. Please note that group tours include specific flights.  

British Airways is the only airline to fly direct from the UK to Buenos Aires, which can also be reached with Iberia via Madrid. LAN Airlines and Aerolineas Argentinas operate flights within Argentina and Chile. For Australasian routes we largely use the services of Air New Zealand, Emirates and British Airways/Qantas.

To give you an idea of likely airfares, return flights from London to Buenos Aires start from around £750 per person (including taxes) with Iberia, and from around £950 per person (including taxes).  Return flights from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia are in the region of £250 per person including taxes and booking fees.

Flight prices to New Zealand/Australia can vary widely but direct fares start at around £750 per person (including taxes). 

From time to time airlines release special offer fares, available for limited periods only.  Please contact our team of Specialists for the best available fares for your chosen route nd dates.
