SYDNEY CHARTER FLIGHT IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Flights to/from Sydney to Hamilton Island have been organised
with Virgin Airways on a private charter flight, exclusively for the Blooms
group.
Due to COVID-19 the regular flight schedules have been
reduced and also with an increasing demand in leisure tourism across the
Whitsundays regular flights were extremely limited. Therefore, we have secured a
charter flight specifically for Blooms attendees from Sydney to ensure that the
group can travel on the conference dates. Due to limited regular scheduled
flights available, we would not have had capability to accommodate all of the
Sydney attendees should we not have organised the charter flight.
You are of course able to request to extend your stay pre/post the conference trip, however please note that you will forfeit either your outbound, or inbound flight, or if you extend both pre and post, both tickets on the charter flight. The Blooms Conference Support Team will be in touch to quote accordingly for an alternative flight/s for you revised date/s of travel.
Regional Flights
If you require a connecting flight from a regional airport to join the group economy domestic flight, you will be asked to include this during registration. The additional cost for any regional connecting flights will be at your own expense and a quotation will be provided. If you require additional accommodation due to flight scheduling, these costs are also your responsibility. The Blooms Conference Support Team will be in touch to advise all applicable costs.
