Many thanks for this Vickie.
Hi Katy,

Our main flight is going from Heathrow to Perth via Singapore which will arrive in the early hours of Day 3. However, we have arranged a pre-registration night for this case so passengers arriving early hours of Day 3 can go straight to the hotel. We are simply booking a full-day accommodation the night before as they don’t do early check-ins.

For customers travelling on a direct flight to Perth and arriving in the afternoon of Day 2, they can also go straight into the hotel. Check-in is at 1400 which will work fine with the flight arriving at 11.55am.

For customers arriving on a different flight from our main one, we have contracted regional transfers and there will be Meet & Greet person in Arrivals.

I hope this helps.

Many thanks,

Vickie

Hi Katy

My understanding is that those who arrive early morning on day 3 will get their rooms on arrival instead of having to wait till the usual check in time. If I was you I would take the direct flight!

HI Vickie,

could you find out if my assumptions re outbound flights/stay in Perth is correct? The website and brochure imply two different things.

thanks

Hi Vickie, thanks for the information.  I have a further question please - I'm confused about the timings and days of arrival in Perth at the beginning of the holiday.

There are 2 options from Heathrow to Perth.  The first is the recently introduced 17hour nonstop flight - this leaves London on Day 1 at 12.10 (about noon in the UK) and arrives in Perth at 11.55 (about noon in Perth) on the next day, ie day 2.  The second option departs at 20.45 from London (Day1) and arrives Perth at 0.30 am on Day 3 - goes via Singapore and takes longer.

If you look at the itinerary - as shown on the website -  it says that you travel to Perth and arrive on Day 3 - but, it seems that you would arrive on Day 2 under the first option above.  The second option you would arrive very early on Day 3.  

So how would that work with the hotels and check in?  If you took the first option and arrived at noon you would have 4 full nights hotel (which seems to be what the brochure implies, if not the website), the second flights option and you would check in at the hotel in the early hours of day 3 and have the rest of that night + 3 further nights in Perth presumably.

Have I understood this correctly?  I think the website may be incorrect?  

Trying to get this right and pick the right option if possible, as I suspect the jet lag will be horrendous.

Many thanks

Katy

Many thanks Vickie, that is great news! 

Can't wait!!

All the best, 

Bob

Hi Bob,

Yes that's correct, the Wonders of Australia tour will be replacing the Grand Tour of Australia.

I'm really glad to hear you like the itinerary! 🙂

Some of the 2021 dates will be in the September brochure, but it may be for the first half of 2021, with further dates coming soon after, this just depends if we have all dates confirmed for the September brochure.

Many thanks,

Vickie

Hi Lucinda,

There’s no particular reason, they are just different itineraries for the different brands.

Travelsphere is doing Northern Territories (Darwin – Kakadu – Katherine), but Just You is touring New South Wales (Sydney – overnight in Port Macquarie – Brisbane). To include all of this in the same tour would be too long.

If you're interested in doing a Just You tour which includes Darwin, we have a Festive departure for 2020 which tours the Northern Territories 🙂

I hope this helps.

Many thanks,

Vickie

Hi Vickie,

I'm one of those very interested in the Travelsphere 30 day tour of Australia in 2021!  Can I just ask you to confirm that it is the Wonders of Australia itinerary that will be on offer for 2021?  I presume that, seeing as there are no 2020 dates for the Grand Tour of Australia, that the Wonders tour is replacing it.  I have looked at various itineraries of Australia over the years with numerous different companies and the new TS Wonders of Australia tour is by far the best itinerary I have come across!  A lot more wildlife, visiting Rottnest Island (can't wait to see the quokkas!), Kangaroo Island and Stradbrooke Island, as well as all the main sights in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Sydney, Darwin, Port Douglas and Brisbane - just perfect!  So I am hoping that the 2021 dates will be released in full in September or soon afterwards as I will be booking straight away!

All the best,

Bob

Is there a reason why this tour is not run as a JY you one, as this is the trip I’d really like to do as it includes the Darwin area too- is it likely to be included ?
