Travel Alert

Bangkok

Local Political unrest has closed the main international airport in Bangkok;   all our guests have been taken out of the airport & are in hotels,  awaiting flights home.  Those due to return home in the next few days will be kept in their hotels until the situation is resolved.  Those currently on tour,  and due to transit or stopover in BKK in the next few days,  will be routed directly back to the UK.  Normal Booking Conditions apply for all future departures.

Mumbai (Bombay, India) 

We have no guests in Mumbai,  and don't use Mumbai for any of our tours, other than the airport itself as a transit point.  Foreign Office advice is to avoid Mumbai City at this time, so our normal Booking Conditions and Operations are unaffected.

Airport Security

The "one small item of hand baggage" rule has been in place for some time, and even where the airline permits any additional hand baggage,  there may be charges for this.     In your hand baggage, only small quantities (100ml) of "liquid" may be taken through Airport Security & into the aircraft cabin. This covers gel/paste/lotion/cream/perfume/drinks/foam etc.- and if you must take anything like this, the containers must be placed in a clear re-sealable plastic bag, 20cmx20cm (like a sandwich bag). Anything else will be confiscated. Detailed advice is available on the DfT Website - http://www.dft.gov.uk/  including specific information about the way that hand baggage should be presented for scanning.  Our advice is that you continue to travel very light, as security checks are still thorough, so the less you carry, the less there is to check, and the quicker you can be processed through the airport.
