Flight Surcharge
There may be a flight surcharge. How does it work?
We are working with our flight partners to obtain the best flight (including price and route) but we may need to charge a flight surcharge if we cannot obtain a flight within the budget amounts below as per our Terms & Conditions. Please be aware that we cannot accommodate personal requests with regards to changes to flights, times or dates, as flights will adhere to pre agreed programs dates and times, which can include departures from 7am – 10pm depending on the agreed arrival time at the final destination.
Europe: AU$3,000
USA: AU$3,200
Japan: AU$2,500
Canada: AU$3,500
South America: AU$3,200
New Zealand: AU$1,500
Departures from July 2026 onwards
Due to a stabilisation in air flight price volatility, we are happy to announce that we will no longer be applying the flight surcharge for departures after and including July 2026. This is great news for our travellers, who can now be assured there will be no unexpected costs to consider in their total travel costs.
