The perfect finale to your 2021 aviation year - on a tour to the far side of the planet! At an event that will never be repeated: the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Airshow.

This will be a huge show featuring a Friday night flying display in addition to the weekend airshows. Pictured left is one of the RAAF’s new F-35s based on Williamtown.

There are free days to enjoy as you wish in Singapore, Sydney and Melbourne. Explore each at your leisure or take on of many optional sightseeing tours that can be booked locally

To ensure the long journeys to and from Australia are as relaxing and stress-free as possible, we have included ‘rest and recuperation’ stopovers in Singapore. However, you have the option of opting out of one or both of them, and going without a break.

We fly on the scheduled services of Singapore Airlines from London’s Heathrow Airport to Sydney with a stopover in Singapore, returning from Melbourne again via Singapore; travel in-country is by chartered, air-conditioned coach (see page 9 “General Information”): we stay each night in comfortable hotel on a bed and breakfast (B&B) basis throughout; and accompanying the group is one of Ian Allan’s well- travelled and experienced Aviation Tour Managers.

This tour is perfect for non-aviation enthusiasts to accompany you.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Payment for Ian Allan Aviation Tours A deposit of £750.00 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.

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.

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 9-18 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 UK driver’s license. Therefore, we do not undertake any tours using 9-18 seater mini-vans from a rental company; either with our tour manager, or a member of the group driving.

Passport 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 to the UK, i.e., 3rd September 2021. You may also refer to the World Travel Guide: www.worldtravelguide.net for general information on passports, visas and health requirements.

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. We suggest you visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice for up- to-date passport, visa and security information on the destination you intend visiting.

In addition, the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) provides both a web site http://abta.com/go- travel and an Information Line, telephone: 0203 117 0599. This line is open between the hours 10:00– 16:00 hrs. Monday-Friday (excluding bank holidays).

Visa Entry Requirements - Singapore For stays of less than 3 months, UK passport holders do not require a visa to enter Singapore. Your passport must be valid for a period 6 months from the date of your return to the UK, i.e., 3rd September 2021.

Visa Entry Requirements - Australia - eVisitor If you plan to visit Australia for up to 3 months and you hold a passport from the European Union (including the UK), Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Switzerland or Vatican City you do not need to contact or make an application for a visa at an Australian Embassy. All passport holders of these countries can apply online, free of charge for a 3 month visitor visa. This visa is called an eVisitor. If you hold one of these passports this is the simplest way to get a visa for your holiday.

Apply online: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/applying-online-or-on-paper/online

We also strongly recommend that you keep a photocopy of the eVisitor Visa with your passport.

Tour 227100 – Australia – Provisional Itinerary – Issue 2 Page 9 of 11

The responsibility for acquiring an eVisitor Visa lies with each individual (and not Ian Allan Aviation Tours). If you arrive at check-in without an this you will not be allowed to travel to Australia. No refund of the tour price whatsoever will be possible from Ian Allan Aviation Tours. It is also extremely unlikely that any travel insurance company would agree any subsequent claim therefore it is important that you act upon this information NOW.

As baggage regulations can change with little warning, due to security requirements, you are strongly advised to contact the airline for the latest information nearer to the time of your departure.

Meals Meals are not normally included in the price of our tours unless they are included within the room rate as we realise that not everyone wants three meals a day, especially in the USA where dinner tends to be quite large. Furthermore, hotel meals can be expensive and in general, we have found it is better to allow each person to decide for themselves. On this tour it is bed and breakfast throughout.

Health Requirements There are currently no known mandatory or recommended precautions required for travel Singapore or Australia. However, we strongly recommend that you consult your local doctor or health centre for the latest information.

Climate and Dress In Singapore at this time of the year, the temperature ranges from a high of 88°F to 76°F.

In Australia, expect high/low temperatures in Sydney 79°F to 67°F and, in Melbourne, 80°F to 61°F. So we recommend items of summer clothing with perhaps a jacket for the cooler evenings in Melbourne.
