The trip was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever enjoyed. Seeing such a huge continent and enormous mountain ranges covered under a blanket of snow, speaking with the people from the research centres, flying over the glaciers and seeing the thousands of icebergs - sensational. The whole trip, the flight and service on board was exceptional

In planning our route, considerable time is taken to select the most spectacular area of Antarctica within aircraft's range. The selected area will be chosen from 19 different flight plans,taking into account:
- Maximum viewing potential from both sides of the aircraft
- Maximum penetration over Antarctica
- Maximum variety in land mass scenery including glaciers, ice plateau and coastline
- The best possibility for viewing should weather conditions be adverse
