Your Final Travel Documents are usually sent to you 2-3 weeks prior to your departure. Your travel pack will include your tour itinerary, hotel details, flight e-tickets and a travel guide.

Either way, our Operations Team will contact you around 75 days before departure to let you know whether a share partner has been found or not.
