Airlines and Luggage

Can you book my international flights?
Yes. We have a full-service, in-house Air Department. Our volume rates are passed on to you.

Can I request special flight times or air routing?
Yes. We can nearly always accommodate even the most unconventional requests.

When will I receive my air information?
Once we have planned your itinerary we will be able to confirm any flights booked through Asia Transpacific Journeys and include all of your flight information in your confirmed itinerary. If booked through Asia Transpacific Journeys, you will receive airline tickets approximately 21 days prior to your departure from the country along with any other final travel documents.

If I go on a group trip, can I depart or return from my trip on other than the scheduled dates?
Yes. Any pre- or post-trip extensions to a Small Group Trip can easily be arranged on a custom basis.

How many pieces of luggage can I bring? Are there any baggage restrictions?
U.S. carriers work with the two-piece luggage system. Most carriers define that as two pieces of checked baggage each weighing no more than 50 lbs. Some U.S. carriers charge for the second bag on international flights. If you book your international flights with us we will advise you of any baggage restrictions. If purchasing your domestic flights seperately from your international ticket you may be charged for one or more pieces of luggage. Please check with your individual carrier.

Most intra-Asia flights will be under the same rule if part of your international ticket. Some internal Asia flights and certain destinations such as Papua New Guinea and Bhutan have more severe weight restrictions. If your destination(s) fall under this case, your Travel Specialist will advise you on exact restrictions.

Will there be laundry service?
Laundry service is available in nearly every locale throughout our region. Exceptions include trekking routes, some jungle and monastery stays, and only limited service in remote regions such as Mongolia. Specifics will be included in your customized Travel Guide that you will receive upon making your initial trip deposit.

What type of clothing should I pack?
The answer varies per destination and also may depend on the particular time of year you are traveling. Upon signup you will receive a customized Travel Guide that includes a detailed packing list for your destination(s).
