Flight tickets: recommended airlines

Getting there - recommended airlines

On most of our tours, participants come from different countries and airfare is generally NOT included in the price.
You are free to choose your own method of getting there, but on request, we can often book flights for you as well.

IMPORTANT: before you book your own flight for a tour with us, please check with us whether the trip departure is confirmed and when it is safe to book your flight.

Our preferred airlines to recommend (top 10):

Based on experience, we recommend the following airlines and will whenever possible try to choose them for your flight ticket.

Lufthansa: flights within Europe, to African, Asian and N American destinations
Singapore Airlines: flights through Asia
United Airlines: flights though N America and to Central Amercia
Emirates: flights to Asia, Australia and NZ
Air New Zealand: flights to Pacific destinations and NZ
Air Canada: flights from Canada
Quantas: fights to Australia and Oceania
Aegean Airlines: flights to Greek destinations
Air Berlin: flights to Italy and other European destinations from Germany
Alitalia: flights to Italy, and often the only reasonable choice, unfortunately. Has improved on baggage handling and reliability

Airlines we do NOT (or no longer) recommend:

We present also a list of airlines that based on negative experience we can NOT recommend and that we will no longer book for you, even if their fares are lower (of course, you are still free to choose them, but you need to book them yourselves).

Quatar Airlines: flights to Asian destinations. If things go well, a very good airline that boasts itself "first-class". But if something goes wrong, e.g. if your flight is cancelled or delayed, don't expect any assistance or help.
