Adventure Tour of the Week

Felucca
Odyssey from $850
Put up your feet, pour yourself a glass of mint tea, surround yourself with
nibbles of feta, olives, bread and hoummas, drape yourself in your newly
acquired Egyptian Pashmina and look up, the sky has on her favourite sequined
dress and you're invited to the party! You are on the the infamous Felucca
floating down the Nile. From the comfort of your cushioned throne you will float
past the ancient banks of the oldest used river in the world. Your journey will
begin in Cairo, losing yourself in the maze of the night bazaars and
restaurants. All aboard the train to Aswan home of Ramses, the greatest Pharaoh
of Egypt. Aboard your cruise and you will stop to admire the hieroglyphs of
Komombo, speaking to you from ages past.
Walk in the steps of royalty in the Valley of the Kings, the resting place of
the greatest men in Egypt, their bones and legends preserved for centuries
within the limestone mountains. Prepare to be enthralled by the crystal clear
embrace of the Red Sea, her surface hiding a menagerie of colourful sea life and
coral, a welcomed relief from the desert dust, she will revive your spirits as
you head back to Cairo, back to the markets, to load your arms with brassware,
Egyptian rugs and cheap cotton.

A word from oneworld
Five new destinations take oneworld network to 606 airports worldwide:
Another five destinations are joining the network served by oneworldTM,
the leading quality global airline alliance, taking the number of airports
served by its existing eight member airlines and their dozen affiliates to 606.
The newcomers include:
- Dalaman (DLM), gateway to Turkey's west coast, which will be
served by affiliate GB Airways, which operates as a franchisee of British
Airways, from 1 May with an initial two round trips a week from London
Gatwick. It will be the third point in Turkey served by oneworld
carriers.
- Dallas Love Field (DAL) will be served by American Airlines and
its American Eagle regional affiliate from 2 March with a total of 16 daily
departures initially to four destinations – Austin, Kansas City, San Antonio
and St Louis. The Dallas region's major airport, Dallas/Fort Worth, is
American's main hub.
- Martinique's Ford de France (FDF), in the Caribbean, now served
by affiliate American Eagle from its San Juan hub, in Puerto Rico, with an
initial four services a week, using 64-seat ATRs.
- Rennes (RNS), France, to be served by Aer Lingus from its Dublin
hub from March, with an initial twice weekly non-stops. It will be the
alliance's 14th destination in France.
- Poznan (POZ), in Poland, to be served by Aer Lingus from its
Dublin hub from March, with one non-stop a week. oneworld members
already serve Warsaw and Krakow in Poland.
Aer Lingus to open another six routes from Ireland: Aer Lingus is to
continue the rapid expansion of its network, with the launch of another three
new routes from its Dublin base and three more destinations from Cork. From the
Irish capital, it will serve Palma de Majorca, which is already on the alliance
map through British Airways and Iberia, three times a week, as well as opening
services to new alliance destinations Rennes and Poznan (see above). From Cork,
it will add routes from June to Birmingham, Berlin and Tenerife. All three
destinations are already served by other oneworld carriers. The Irish
airline announced a total of 22 new routes in 2005.
American and Finnair launch Delhi services: Another two oneworld
members are launching services to Delhi. American Airlines' new daily non-stops
from its Chicago O'Hare hub have already taken off. Finnair will start serving
the Indian capital from 1 November, with an initial three non-stops a week to
and from its Helsinki home. They will join British Airways and Cathay Pacific in
the Delhi market.
Qantas adds Beijing and Vancouver service: Qantas has launched its new
route to Beijing, with an initial three non-stops a week to and from its Sydney
hub, with two-class Airbus A330-300s. With its established four weeklies to
Shanghai, the airline now serves the China mainland daily - and expects to
operate to both destinations daily within two years. Three oneworld
partners already serve Beijing - British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Finnair.
June will see Qantas' famous kangaroo tailfin touch down at Vancouver, with an
initial three flights a week during peak holiday periods from Sydney, via San
Francisco, as the "first step towards establishing year-round Qantas flights to
Canada". Vancouver is already on the oneworld map through American
Airlines, British Airways and Cathay Pacific.
LAN invests US$100 million in premium business class with fully flat beds:
oneworld's Latin American partner LAN is to install seats which convert
into horizontal, fully flat beds in a new premium business class on its Boeing
767-300s, operating between South and North America. Its new Premium Business
blends the best of the airline's current first and business class services, in
an investment valued at more than US$100 million. In-flight entertainment will
also be upgraded, with larger 15.4 ins individual monitors providing enhanced
resolution, with video and audio on demand. The new-style service will be
available from March with all the fleet refitted within two years.
American opens new Admirals Clubs at Miami and New York JFK: American
Airlines has opened two new Admirals Clubs – one at New York JFK and the other
at Miami. The JFK facility is in the airline's Terminal 9, which it has been
upgraded in a US$1.1 billion rebuilding programme. It covers 11,300 sq ft and
seats 183 people. The new Miami lounge is on Concourse D, near gate D 34. It is
the first of two new clubs being developed as part of the airport's North
Terminal development project. The second, on Concourse A, is scheduled to open
in early 2006. The Concourse D facility is one of the largest Admirals Clubs
worldwide, with more than 30,000 sq ft and seating for 320. Besides American's
own Admirals Club members, the new facilities can be used by Emerald and
Sapphire tier members of any other oneworld airlines' frequent flyer
programme when departing on any oneworld airlines' service.
Cathay Pacific can now check-in Hong Kong passengers from Pearl River:
Cathay Pacific can now check-in from mainland China passengers flying from its
Hong Kong hub, thanks to a new facility opened at a ferry pier at Shekou on the
Pearl River Delta. It enables passengers to check themselves and their baggage
in, receive their boarding pass and clear customers and immigration before
boarding a boat taking them directly to Hong Kong's airport.
oneworld in brief: oneworld brings together some of the
best and biggest names in the airline business - American Airlines, British
Airways, Qantas, Iberia, Cathay Pacific, LAN, Finnair and Aer Lingus, plus their
dozen affiliates.
Three more airlines are lining up to join - Royal Jordanian, which will come
on board at the turn of 2006/2007; Malev, which has been elected on board with
effect from early 2007; and Japan Airlines, which is seeking membership.
The alliance enables its members to offer their customers more services and
benefits than any airline can provide on its own. These include a broader route
network, opportunities to earn and redeem frequent flyer miles and points across
the combined oneworld network and more airport lounges.
oneworld is the only alliance to enable passengers to fly throughout
its network, on any combination of carriers, using just electronic tickets.
oneworld was voted the world's best airline alliance by readers of
Business Traveller magazine for the second year running in its 2005 poll and the
World's Leading Airline Alliance for the third year running in the latest World
Travel Awards, based on votes cast by 80,000 travel agency professionals from
more than 200 countries.
It is also the only alliance whose members reported collective profits in their
latest full year.
