Flight Reservations
Because this tour
commences with participants gathering at the Gold Coast Airport, participants
will need to make thier own flight arrangements. In general, the most convenient
and cost-effective methods is to fly with Jetstar directly from Narita to the
Gold Coast, or from Kansai Airport via Narita to the Gold Coast. Please note,
however, that Jetstar does re-schedule flights from time to time. Furthermore,
in order to gather at the Gold Coast on the morning of 27 March participants
will need to book flights that depart no later than the evenning of 26 March.
Information is available on Jetstarfs home page (http://www.jetstar.com) and bookings can be easily made in 10-15
minutes by following the instructions. Although you are not required to enter a
passport number at this time, you will need to have a credit card ready to make
the payment. If you require further assistance, please contact the AJWCEF Head
Office by email: training@ajwcef.org. We are also able to recommend a reliable travel agent should
you require help with flight and insurance arrangements (being a not-for-profit
organisation, AJWCEF itself is not a travel agent). Please be aware, however,
that booking through a travel agent will add to the cost of these elements.
Accommodation &
Meals
Depending on the ratio
of male to female participants, accommodation may be twin share (2 people) or a suite room (up to 4 people). The
welcome lunch and all the meals on Stradbroke Island are included. However, all
