Bay, Canada (CYYR) Home 1,340 NM
After breakfast and an in-depth briefing, we take our over-water
crossing, touching down on the North American continent in
Canada for a technical stop in Goose Bay before flying our
separate ways home.
Breakfast included
NOTES:
Because of the numerous climate zones we will be crossing and the complex logistics required for
this Journey, all participants should be ready for some last minute changes.
On every Flying Day, lunch is not included. For safety we recommend you order a lunch box at the
hotel on the day before departure which will be charged to your room. Do not eat at the airports!
There is no tour on the schedule of each day of arrival so you can relax at your beautiful hotels. Our
half-day city tours are normally scheduled for the morning after our arrival at a destination.
All dinners while on this tour are “a la carte”.
A Pilots Meeting will be scheduled the evening prior to the next day’s flight for each destination.
Hotels may change within same category until two weeks before departure or during the tour if a
delay makes the hotels no longer available.
