Ponant Antarctica "Charter Flights".

[Toni020285]

Hi All.

 

I am heading on a Ponant Antarctica cruise in Nov 23. I have a tight turn around after the cruise needing to get to Santiago same day as disembarkation (for a flight home to Australia the next day) Has anyone had any experience this season of the Ponant organised flight back to Buenos Aires from Ushuaia after the cruise and what time they arrived back to Buenos Aires?

 

I've also seen that sometimes they "charter" a flight and sometimes they use a commercial flight - anyone had any experience of this also this season??

 

Many thanks.

Our flights in November between Buenos Aires & Ushuaia were chartered and operated by Aerolineas Argentinas with only Ponant guests on board. We landed BA before 5pm.

On our cruise in January Ponant changed the "chartered" flight so that about a dozen of us would have missed our 9:00 pm flight (earliest they suggest that you book it) to Buenos Aires.  They rescheduled us on an earlier flight - think spirit airlines of Argentina - for earlier in the day so that we would be on time.  We were actually clients of TAUK so it was TAUK that did all the rearranging but Ponant seems to charter flights per sailing.
