Since 1994, Antarctica Sightseeing Flights, in conjunction with
Qantas, has taken thousands of passengers on memorable sightseeing
flights over East Antarctica, Australian Antarctic Territory and New
Zealand’s Ross Dependency. We invite you to join us this southern summer
for an unforgettable and rare travel experience to this magnificent
continent departing from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
The flight provides a full day of Antarctic experience.
Flights aboard a privately chartered Qantas 747 are included and last
approximately 12.5 hours. This is not classed as an international flight
so it is not necessary for you to have a passport, however you will be
required to provide government approved identification at check-in.
Approximately three hours south of Australia, passengers will usually
see the first scattered ice followed by dozens of icebergs and ice
floes. We then cross the South Magnetic Pole where you will start to
view the rugged mountainous topography of the Antarctic Mainland.
Weather will play a large part in what we are able to see and Qantas has
over 19 routes planned to take advantage of the best sightseeing
conditions. You can expect to have around 4 hours of sightseeing on our
flights depending on the conditions. The aircraft will fly 'figure 8's'
over various points of interest so that they can be viewed on both sides
of the aircraft. This will be a flight unlike any other that you have
been on.
