Ian Allan Aviation Tours

DENMARK INTERNATIONAL AIRSHOW, ROSKILDE (Optional Spotters Enclosure) & Aviation Museums

As your Tour Operator IAAT has a duty of care toward its travellers so the following conditions have been added to our 2021 itineraries.

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 virus, tours will only operate if:  The UK travel ban to the country or countries has been lifted  The host country or countries has no travel ban in place  The advice from www.gov.uk states there are no health restrictions in the host country or countries.

PROVISIONAL ITINERARY & GENERAL INFORMATION Wednesday, 11th – Monday, 16th August

Every year we have a tour to Scandinavia and 2021 sees the turn of Denmark which we last visited several years ago. From the positive feedback we received we have no hesitation in offering a similar tour.

With the cancellation of the Royal Danish Air Force’s airshow on Karup AB, we now attend both days of the international airshow in Roskilde.

The Danes have a very good reputation of year after year putting on airshows with lots of interesting aircraft in the static display and flying programme.

We enjoy 2 full days at the airshow with basic admission tickets being included in the tour price. Those wishing to go into the special Spotters/Photographers area should apply on-line as soon as possible – please see details on Day 4.

Our travels around Denmark will include visits to aviation museums and collections both large and small scattered throughout the country, plus a few aircraft either perched on top of a pole or on public display.

We fly on the scheduled services of SAS from London’s Heathrow Airport; travel in-country is by air- conditioned coach (please read appropriate paragraph on page 5 “General Information”); we stay each night in a comfortable hotel on a bed and continental breakfast basis; and the tour is accompanied throughout by one of our well-travelled and experienced Tour Managers.

DAY 4: SATURDAY, 14th AUGUST At 08:30 we depart for the airshow, and get in the line of traffic ready for when the gates open at 10:00.

The organizers will “get as many different kinds of aircraft as possible: the Danish Armed Forces will participate with military aircraft and helicopters from the Navy and Air Force, also foreign military aircraft”.

There will also be “considerable participation of civil airliners, business aircraft and helicopters, military aircraft from World War II and beyond, aerobatic flight aircraft, and a wide selection of home-built aircraft and veteran aircraft”.

Furthermore, there will be, gliders, ultra lights, model plane and parachute-teams. Aircraft, not normally seen in Demark are also expected to attend from abroad.

There will be pleasure flights both Saturday and Sunday. Nordic Seaplanes will do pleasure flights in their Twin Otters, including a “splash and go”. More information to follow.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Payment for Ian Allan Aviation Tours A deposit of £400.00 per person should accompany your Booking Form, with the balance due 10 weeks prior to the tour’s departure. Please see your Booking Confirmation/Invoice for the exact date. Please note that a reminder of the payment date will not be sent.

Passports and Visas Citizens of the UK are required to be in possession of a Full UK Passport, which must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of your return. You may also refer to the World Travel Guide website: www.wtgonline.com for general information on passports, visas and health requirements.

From 1 January 2021 UK passport holders still do not require a visa to enter Denmark.

Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) Consular Advice The FCO's consular service is a major operation. Every hour of every day consular staff around the world are advising and helping British nationals. For up-to-date passport, visa and security information on the destination you intend visiting, we suggest you visit: www.fco.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo

In addition, the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) provide an Information Line for UK callers only, telephone: 020 3117 0599. This line is open between the hours 10:00 – 16:00, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays).

Coach Travel Ian Allan Aviation Tours only use coaches chartered from reputable companies, with a driver. Where we have had to cancel a tour, due to the small number of bookings, we have looked at the possibility of renting a 16-18 seater mini-van, with our tour manager driving. However, without exception, the hiring of such a vehicle is illegal if any of the occupants make any payment towards the rental price, fuel and/or other expenses - known as “for hire or reward”. Any such rental, made without these facts being made known to the rental company at the time of booking, also invalidates all insurance covering the vehicle, contents and persons. The DVLA has also confirmed that any “for hire or reward” rental could breach the normal driving classification of a standard U.K. driver’s license. Therefore, we do not undertake any tours using 9-18 seater mini-vans from a rental company with our tour manager, or a member of the group, driving.

Health Requirements There are no known mandatory or recommended precautions for visiting Denmark; however, we recommend you consult your local doctor or health centre for the latest information.

If you plan to take traveller’s cheques we recommend they are in Euros and small denomination notes (10, 20 or 50), however, most hotels nowadays do not hold many Euros for exchanging and you may have to take time away from the group to find a bank.

Flexible Itinerary We are very happy for enthusiasts to take time away from the printed itinerary to pursue their own interests so long as they inform the Tour Manager. It will be the individual’s responsibility to ensure that they re-join the group in the hotel at the stated time on the day of departure.

Land Only Price For enthusiasts who would prefer to join the tour at Copenhagen Airport (or the hotel), instead of flying from London’s Heathrow Airport with the main group, we will be very pleased to provide a ‘Land Only’ price and/or the cost of flying from your local airport.

Your arrival time at Copenhagen Airport should be well before the main group’s arrival (not after), and your departure back to the UK should be after the group’s flight (not before).

Flight Timings & Connecting Travel Arrangements to Departure Airport All flight departure and arrival times are correct at the time of preparing each itinerary; however, airlines may change these times with little or no prior warning. In practice such changes are only a few minutes either way and the final itinerary will show the actual times. Clients making their own arrangements to get to the departure airport by air, rail, coach etc., should bare the above in mind if purchasing non- refundable or non-changeable tickets. Ian Allan Aviation Tours cannot be held responsible for any changes to flight times and any privately arranged travel tickets to the airport becoming invalid.

Airport Hotel and/or Car Parking We can offer special rates for the above at most UK airports, please ask for details.

Tours Affected by World Events or Unforeseen/Unplanned Circumstances In an ever-changing world, events may occur immediately before or during a tour that result in cancellations or changes to the tour itinerary. For example, an increase in security may result in an approved visit being cancelled by the host, etc... Ian Allan Aviation Tours cannot be held responsible for any tour being cancelled, or itineraries affected, due to world events or circumstances beyond our control.
