    Kylie

    Asked on March 13th, 2022

    Can you explain how the payment of flights works? Are their flights that we will need to buy in order to travel from country to country or are we just buying the flight there and the flight home? How does that work?

    Flights / Transfers
    • ContikiOperatorWritten March 2022

      Flights will need to be purchased from your home country to join the trip and then return home - it is not included in the price.
