Flight Details

These are the flights that we expect all team members to book onto.
If for some reason you are not able to book onto the flights listed, you will need to arrange your flights to arrive BEFORE that of those listed to ensure you are able to travel effectively with the team. 
It seems that everyone is back in the air and some of the flights that I would commonly use to get to Africa are booked solid already for weeks in each direction!
So we will be taking more round-about (and longer!) paths to get on continent.
When booking - Don't forget to book with checked luggage. Not all flights automatically include it.
