Canadian - International Flight Options & Prices - Australia
OPTION #1 -ISV Group Flight - Fly to Australia on Qantas Airways (Standard 4-Week and 2-Week Volunteer Only Programs)
All ISV group flights to Australia will originate from Los Angeles, CA (LAX).
Due to the location of our projects, ISV flies into Brisbane (BNE), Melbourne (MEL), or Sydney (SYD), Australia. Specific flights are determined once projects are assigned approx. 30 days prior to departure.
All ISV Group Flight participants will need to arrange their own domestic flights to and from Los Angeles (LAX).
Australia Flight Costs:
Cost for ISV Group Flight= $1,020.00 CAD (plus taxes, ticketing & visa fees) Estimate of taxes and fees as of Dec. 2009 = $435.00 CAD Airline Ticketing and Visa Fees = $65.00 CAD (As charged by the airlines)
Please note: An ISV “Group Flight” consists of 10 or more passengers. In the unlikely event, ISV is unable to meet this minimum requirement on any given date; those affected by this will be notified via email approximately 60 days prior to departure. At this time, a competitive “Individual Fare” will be quoted. Any deposit collected for the “Group Flight” will be applied to the “Individual Fare”.
Flight costs and taxes are subject to change due to fluctuating fuel surcharges, etc. implemented by the airlines. Prices may increase by as much as, but not more than $100.00 CAD.
IMPORTANT: Please read "Domestic Airfare within Australia" below.
Option #2 - Custom Program Flights (Standard 4-Week Program with additional Projects and/or Tours)
All Custom Program participants are required to take a flight organized by ISV.
Custom Programs within Australia only: Flight costs are the same as the Standard 4-Week Group Flights above with the exception of a $165.00 CAD extension fee.
Custom Programs in multiple countries: Due to the variables of ISV Custom Programs in multiple countries, the cost of airfare cannot be guaranteed at this time. ISV will provide a sample itinerary and quote of airfare within 15 business days of receipt of the required Custom Flight Options Form and applicable deposits. (The Flight/Options Form is due no later than 105 days prior to departure.)
If you have further questions, please contact the ISV USA office by e-mail at: isvcan@isvonline.org. Be sure to include your last name, first name, and ISV ID number.
Domestic Airfare within Australia: $435.00 CAD
All participants traveling to Australia are required to pay for domestic airfare for flights within country. Australia is nearly the size of the United States and ISV work projects are scattered all over the country. Australian domestic airfares have been averaged to be fair to all participants (as suggested by past ISV participants.) The Domestic Airfare cost will be included on your final invoice and is due on or before 65 days prior to departure.
