CLOSING

I am so lucky to have the opportunity to do this flight (now ticked off the list of things to see/do). I apologise for failing to adequately describe or show what we saw. It is simply breathtaking. The flight itself was fun. I haven’t commented much on inflight service, as, to be honest, I wasn’t paying a lot of attention. I think the meals etc were adequate without being stunning. The crew did kept my drinks topped up nicely and did a good job in trying circumstances (probably less than a third of passengers seated for the several hours over the ice and Antarctica). The experts were great – not only with their talks and presentations but also when they roved throughout the cabin, answering questions and showing their personal pictures, equipment etc. I would certainly recommend the flight to anyone who is interested in Antarctica or fantastic scenery. While not everyone can have a window seat (and thanks to rotation certainly not for the whole flight), there are many places where you can see and there is a high degree of cooperation so everyone can see. A tip – several people can fit between seats and along the aisles in business class and first class and see out the window provided those at the front kneel or crouch.
