On 31^st October 2009, the total cost of the return flight with one piece of hand luggage and a checked bag of not more than 15kg was £136.98.  This price varies depending on the date you book.

This price includes booking by debit card (add £2 for credit card) but does not include insurance which you would need to take out separately. 

Additional to this, we are estimating the cost of the Mission to be not more than £400 per person but this will depend on the number travelling – ie it could be less.  

The total cost will thus be in the region of £530 per person.

There are a maximum 25 places on this Mission .
