For the South Pole, that's very rare, however their is a company in Australia running 12hr scenic Antarctica flights. See here: http://www.antarcticaflights.com.au

No, there's no mention of the Geographic South Pole, if that's the one you mean. It'd be very rare to find a commercial outfit offering such a flight. I have never heard of one (only private/ shared charter with high-end companies). The linked company flies over the Magnetic South instead.

I don't think you'd see much from high altitude anyway, to be quite honest. You can set foot at the Pole from around US$50,000.

Hi,
I work for a company that sells cruises to Antarctica. We have recently started offering flight trips to the geographical South Pole. You can also camp overnight at the Pole. It doesn't come cheap with prices starting from $25000. If you are interested I can send you an email. Let me know.

No. I'm not joking. We can also arrange for flights to see the emperor penguin colonies, climbing expeditions and skiing expeditions. But all these trips come at a price as you can imagine.
