The Cook's Adventures
Flexible Travel
To give you the most flexibility when you travel with us we have created an option for our culinary tours as land only tours, in other words, you can organise your own flight and join us at a meeting point in the destination.
This enables you to extend your holiday, travel onwards to elsewhere, upgrade your flight and choose your preferred airline.
We have a partner who can assist with flights if you want them included.
Extend the tour
By arranging your own flights, you can enjoy additional days before and after the scheduled tour, rather than arriving on the first day and departing on the last day with the other travellers.
We offer assistance and advice on securing extra accommodation for your prolonged visit.
Choose airline
The included flight cost typically covers an economy seat on the destination's airline, if available. For instance, we plan to use Air India for trips to India. By arranging your own flights, you have the flexibility to choose your preferred airline and utilise any accumulated points, like Avios.
Travel onwards
The chance to continue on to another destination following your tour with us, particularly when on a long-haul flight, can minimize your travel time to and from the UK.
We can assist in organising this to ensure a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Points to be aware of when booking your own flights:
You will not be covered by our ATOL/ABTA protection.
However, you should be covered by your own travel insurance, please check your policy documents.
Where there is an internal flight required as part of the tour, details and costs of flights will be given at time of booking.
We can arrange for local airport pick-ups on day one of the scheduled tour by the tour team and assist with organising any other transport or accommodation requirements through our working partners in destination if required.
