There are 10 women and 4 men booked on to the add-on, this is not including those who are just doing Borneo. You will depart from Heathrow at 11.30hrs on the 19th May and arrive in Kota Kinabalu at 11.20hrs on the 20th June due to a stopover in Singapore. You will arrive back at Heathrow at 05.55hrs on the 2nd June.

For both of these dates you will depart from Heathrow at 12.30hrs and arrive in Anchorage, Alaska at 20.10hrs on the same day. You will arrive back in Heathrow at 13.00hrs.

I hope this helps, and if you need any other questions answered please let me know.As you may be aware, these flight times are only provisional and will be finalised in your final documents.

Kindest Regards,

Monty

Many thanks,

You are not the optional booker, which means that your booking has been confirmed. An optional booker is someone who is booked provisionally - this could be something to do with flight upgrades, health reasons or anything that may be on request.

I hope this puts your mind at ease.

Kindest Regards,

Monty

Best wishes,

Forgive me for having a 'senile' moment. You say that for the May dates there are 14 travellers booked for the main tour with Singapore add-on and 6 for the Borneo part only, which means there are 20 on the trip. I thought the tour had only 15 places in all?

Jaya

In case Monty doesn't answer - the website only shows places for the main tour, not the add-on. This is a really stupid design feature and one I hope will be sorted out asap! There were 15 places for the main tour and I think 8 for the main tour plus add-on and I have a feeling the add-on for the May tour has been increased to 12 places due to the demand. So there will probably be around 27 on the tour altogether as I'm sure it will very shortly be sold out!

I've emailed Julia several times about mistakes and shortcomings on the new website - typos on numerous pages etc (including Mexico being listed as South America! And Burma, Malaysia etc still not featuring on the destinations tab), as well as the lack of info on the various add-ons to the different tours and other missing info as well. I am sure that Julia has passed this information on, but alas none of them have been rectified so far. The web team must be very busy!

Best wishes,

Bob

That's correct Bob, the website does only show the availability for the main tour. Currently, there are 8 people booked for the main tour alone - one of those being optional. This does mean that there is only ONE space left and you'll see that on the website. I will give you a quick update on numbers for the add-on - there are 13 travellers booked at the moment, and there is ONE space left on the add-on too.

Julia has passed on the information that you provided her with to the web team, so they are aware of the mistakes. Unfortunately, some of these are more developmental issues than quick changes so may take a little longer.

Kindest Regards,

Monty

Many thanks for the update and explanation - it is very helpful. Hopefully the glitches will be sorted out before long.

Have a great weekend,

Bob

Thank you for the explanation. 27 is not a very big number so should be okay. It seems that the add-on is proving very popular. I can't wait for this tour especially after hearing all about the itinerary on the Wireless broadcast last Saturday. This is going to be an amazing adventure.

Jaya

Can you tell me if there have been any bookings for the Wild Arctic Summer departure next July.

Thanks

Sally

For the July departure of this tour, there is currently one traveller booked on the Toronto add-on and one person optionally booked for the tour alone. However, it is still early days and I am sure this will be a popular tour come next year.

Kindest Regards,

Monty

Can i check the numbers etc for the untold Cambodia trip on the 19/4/16 and lastly numbers on the Norway husky trip for new year please.

Many thanks

Lucinda

There are currently 7 travellers booked on the Cambodia tour so far, with 4 of these people doing the Vietnam add-on. For the Norway's Northern Lights and Huskies at New Year tour, there is currently 11 people booked.

Kindest Regards,

Monty

Wild Arctic Summer tour is the one I would love to do, but it will have to be in 2017 as next year is fully booked. If you do decide to go next year, then I look forward to reading your review.

The ages of the travellers for this tour start at the late-40's up to the early-70's. You'll fit in just fine, I am sure.
