Have the flexibility to book flights with Frequent Flyer points
Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline
Use their travel agent for this service

Travel insurance is strongly recommended. During the Book Now process please confirm you require assistance, and our team will be in contact with you.
