If you will be flying from the UK to start your Sherpa walking or cycling holiday, you could save yourself money by booking a 'land only' package with Sherpa, and then booking your own flights with one of the new 'budget' airlines.

Simply ask us for a 'land only' price for your preferred tour and then check out the airline websites. (call us on 020 8577 2717 or email sales@sherpaexpeditions.com)

The so called 'budget' airlines are offering some very good rates on flights to destinations in Europe, for instance last year one of our clients managed to get a flight to Pisa, for our Treasures of Tuscany Walk, for £7 each way with Ryan Air, which amounted to a considerable saving on his holiday.

The reason that we don't price our holidays using these airlines, and we can't book these airlines for you is that they will only sell direct to the public, not to tour operators.  There prices vary enormously, but there are definately some bargins to be had.

Below is a list of the Airlines, and the airports they fly to which would be suitable for starting a Sherpa tour.
