International Flights
Our tour prices do not include international flights so you are free to choose the airline you prefer, and the best prices. You do not even have to book your flights through us.
Geodyssey works with all the major carriers to South America and the Caribbean with very competitive fares on a choice of routes. Tell us the dates you wish to travel and from which airport and we will research the best options available.
Flights can get very busy at Christmas and Easter, and during July and August. The cheapest seats fill first, so the sooner you can put your name down for your flights the better. The cheaper tickets are usually restricted: if you need a flexible ticket or prefer club class please let us know and we can quote accordingly. 'Taxes' include fuel surcharges.
