International Flights

As ATOL holders, we can book flights for you on request (or you can choose to book accommodation only), and below provide some information regarding flights and family facilities provided 'on-board'. Please always check with the individual airline for up to date information, including child seats/cots and baggage allowances, as we can only provide general guidance.

South Africa

There are many airlines that offer flights to South Africa via other European Destinations but we would recommend that you fly direct from London on British Airways, South African Airways or Virgin Atlantic. Flight times are approximately 11 hours to Johannesburg and 12 hours to Cape Town. These are generally night flights.

Mauritius

Direct flights from London to Mauritius are available on British Airways, Air Mauritius and Virgin Atlantic taking approximately 12 hours.

If you are travelling to Mauritius in combination with South Africa, all airlines allow you to do so as part of an Open Jaw ticket.

Seychelles

Currently the only direct service to the Seychelles is with Air Seychelles (11 hours) which is available several times a week, overnight in both directions. Alternatively Air France and Emirates also operate regular but non-direct flights on this route. For clients looking to combine with South Africa, Air France offers the most convenient schedule.

Dubai

Emirates, British Airways and Virgin operate a variety of direct day and night flights direct to Dubai (7 hours) from London and regional airports. Onward flights to South Africa can also be booked.

Oman

Gulf Air (outbound overnight and afternoon return) and British Airways (outbound morning and overnight return) have direct daily services to Muscat (7 hours) from London Heathrow. Oman Air have also recently launched a daily service from Gatwick.
