When you take the trip of a lifetime, no detail is too small to be considered. For travelers taking part in a Quark Expeditions Antarctic Adventure, adding a few days to the beginning or end of your trip will allow you to explore some unique and interesting destinations.

As you plan for your trip, there are a couple of important points to remember. First of all, you may be tempted to search the internet for flight deals, and break your trip into smaller hops rather than taking a direct flight. This approach may save you a little money in the short term, but in the long term, breaking up your ticket may increase the possibility of delays and cancellations. We always recommend a direct flight whenever it is possible.
The second point is about baggage. Be sure and check your carrier's limits before you travel.
We have some excellent packing tips to help you prepare, and, for passengers who have booked their flights through Quark, a 24-hour air desk helpline to assist you with any unforeseen flight delays or cancellations.
