FAQs
Long-haul typically refers to flights of over six hours from the UK, covering destinations in Asia, Australasia, the Americas, Africa, and the Indian Ocean. These include popular choices such as Japan, Thailand, Bali, Australia, the Caribbean, Maldives, and more. The longer flight is well worth it, these destinations offer experiences you simply can't find closer to home.
We recommend booking at least 6–9 months in advance for most long-haul destinations, especially if you're travelling during peak season or school holidays. Premium seats, popular resorts, and small-group experiences fill up quickly. That said, last-minute options can sometimes be available, contact us and we'll advise based on your specific destination and dates.

Classic combinations include Dubai or Singapore stopovers en route to Australia or the Maldives, or combining Thailand with Bali, or Japan with Vietnam. We handle all the logistics so your journey flows seamlessly from start to finish.

For longer journeys, particularly to Asia or Australasia, many of our clients choose to upgrade at least one leg of the journey. We'll talk you through the options and what's available on your chosen route.
Visa requirements vary by destination and your nationality. When we put together your itinerary, we'll advise on the visa requirements for your specific destinations and travel dates. We always recommend checking the FCDO Travel Aware website for the latest advice. For the USA, UK nationals will need to obtain an ESTA in advance of travel.
