Frontiers International Travel books your flights, ground transfers and any charter flight your trip needs, in-house through a dedicated Air team, so the long-haul legs and the last leg to the lodge are built around one itinerary. The Air team issues tickets, arranges seats and extra baggage, checks that connections are realistic, and steps in when flights are cancelled or delayed.

What does the Frontiers Air team do?

• Tickets, seats and baggage: booking your flights, preferred seats and extra baggage allowances.
• Fares: Frontiers says it can access exclusive airfare discounts, especially in business and first class.
• Itinerary checks: reviewing seat layouts, whether connection times are realistic, and whether a fare class is good value.
• Disruptions: stepping in for you when flights are cancelled, schedules change, or strikes and weather cause delays.

Why book flights with the same company as the lodge?

Lodge weeks start and end on fixed days, and remote lodges often meet guests at a set time. When one team books both the lodge and the air, your arrival is planned around the lodge's schedule, and if a flight goes wrong the same people who built the trip are the ones fixing it. Frontiers also handles ground transfers in-house, so the leg from the airport to the lodge is part of the same plan.

Does Frontiers book charter and bush-plane flights?

Yes. Many remote fishing lodges are reached by a small charter on the last leg, often a bush plane or float plane. When your trip needs one, Frontiers books that charter flight as part of the same itinerary, timed to your airline arrival and the lodge's schedule. Whether the charter is included in the lodge rate or billed separately depends on the lodge, so ask your Frontiers specialist, along with the baggage weight limit; small-aircraft limits are often far tighter than an airline's. Our guide to bringing your own rods, reels, lines and flies covers packing for it.
