Quartz: You can now travel to one of the world’s most remote islands
Looking to escape the madness? You can now travel to one of the world’s most remote islands
October 14 will be remembered as a historic day in the remote island of St. Helena. After several false starts and technical delays, the first commercial flight to British territory finally landed on time.
St. Helena sits in the south Atlantic Ocean, 1,200 miles from the nearest mainland. Before South African Airlines began the weekly service from Johannesburg and Cape Town, the only way to reach St. Helena was to take a five-day boat journey from Cape Town. The flight, which has a refueling stop in Windhoek International Airport in Namibia, has shortened the odyssey to the pristine paradise to six hours.
