Antartica - The Experience
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.
New Years Eve Party Flight
Those lucky enough to be aboard our New Year's Eve Party flight will be treated to a live jazz band and one of the most unique experiences in the world as we host the highest and coolest New Year's Eve Party in the world!
