A Joy Ride

For those who want to enjoy an Antarctica ride, here’s a piece of good news. Croydon Travel operates Antarctica Sightseeing Flights, which is an Antarctica tour service that has flown about 30,000 people over Antarctica since 1994. Most recently, the agency is offering flights on the new A380 Superjumbo jet departing from Melbourne or Sydney a couple of times a year during the Antarctic summer.Antarctica travel is something that almost everyone wished, but only a few could actually make it. Adventure lovers and scientists would only manage to get to that area, which is one of the coldest place on earth, the other been Arctic. Many a times, we have seen pictures of the vast stretch of land with snow all over the place and penguins marching in hundreds and thousands in a line.

Among the animals that we get to see in Antarctica include blue whales, fur seals, colossal squids and of course Emperor penguins and other types of it. Little vegetation grows there, as the area remains covered with thick snow all the year around. Travellers may want to visit the region, but there are hardly any flights or trains going there. However, this flights news will be greeted by those who are willing to spend some money to enjoy a trip to Antarctica.

Indeed, travelling to the untouched wilderness on the planet is made easier and cheaper, in at about the same price as an economy class ticket from Hong Kong to San Francisco.

The most recent A380 flight was a New Year’s Eve flyover, and the next one will take off on 24th of January, followed by a 747 flight on the Valentines Day, February 14. Flights to Antarctica usually take passengers during the Antarctic summer because days are 24 hours long and weather conditions remain most stable. The trip lasts from November to February and Croydon plans flights accordingly, offering 3 to 12 flights during that time period.

While on flight, depending on the tickets that you have purchased, you will get to admire the prolonged beauty and white wilderness of Antarctica. There is business class seat, economy class seat, centre seat and superior window economy seat to name some. One can easily imagine the amount of excitement and joy that one will get when he or she will board on the plane and get to experience the true lasting beauty of white snow and the sight of elegant penguins walking and standing on the Antarctic land.
