Alaska & Canada Escorted Group Tours
Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane passengers:
We are holding a number of seats with Air New Zealand from each city for the various group tours. Passengers travelling with the group will board flights in their respective cities and then meet up in Auckland for the flights through to Vancouver, San Francisco or Los Angeles. Prices for the group flights are shown in the table above.
Perth and Adelaide passengers:
Flights with Air New Zealand are available from Adelaide and Perth to Auckland and therefore it is possible to travel with group. There is however an extra charge of $100 per person. In addition, it may be necessary to spend a night in Auckland as the flights do not always connect. We can assist with accommodation arrangements in Auckland if you wish. Another option is to fly into Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane and join up with the Group. In the case of passengers travelling from Perth, we can also look at organising flights via Asia with either Singapore Airlines or Cathay Pacific.
Other flight arrangements:
Passengers on escorted group tours can also book flights with other carriers, utilise their frequent flyer points or book round world airfares. Contact us for more information or refer to comments below under "Tailored Group Tours and Personal Tour Packages".
