Sydney is easily accessible to all delegates with 44 passenger airlines flying into Sydney International Airport and over 500 flights arriving per week. Major international airlines operate direct or one stop services from major hub cities including Bangkok, Singapore, London, Los Angeles, New York, Johannesburg and Santiago, meaning that delegates from Asia, Europe, Africa, North America and South America can fly directly to Sydney.

Delegates who are planning their travel to Sydney should note there are many flight options available for the Skål World Congress. Initially we recommend you speak with your respective Skål Clubs to determine any arrangements they have made on your behalf with your local carriers.

The Conference Organising Committee has made representation to the national carrier Qantas to enlist their support. They have communicated with their overseas offices advising them of their commitment to the Congress. Skålleagues with access to international Qantas offices or representatives should make contact for details of Congress related fares. For information on flight schedules and timetables you can visit the Qantas web site.

Qantas air travel for Skålleagues attending the Skål 71st World Congress 2010 in Sydney:

Qantas have confirmed they are offering an enhanced suite of Business Class and Economy class fares from Qantas ports in UK/Europe, USA, South America, Asia, and New Zealand for SKAL delegates and partners travelling to Australia to attend the SKÅL Congress. The fares are valid on Qantas flights for departure between 01 September and 15 October 2010. In some instances code share partner airlines may be included to connect to Qantas ports.

The SKÅL airfares are subject to class availability and will allow some flexibility. The full details are available by making contact via a dedicated Qantas e-mail address. Should the class of travel be sold out on the flight of your first choice there will be another level of fare available or Qantas will endeavour to find the closest available option for you at the SKÅL rate.

Note that while the fares are highly discounted they are subject to taxes and fees which will be quoted by Qantas at the time of your booking enquiry.

Sydney being one of the world's great Harbours, is also serviced by many of the major cruise lines, so if cruising is your passion, this may be worth investigating.
