  • Select flight dates that may be different to our Holiday Package start/end dates
  • Use a Travel Credit already held with the airline

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

What should I do before travelling?

Before you travel it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate documentation including visas.
