Freedom to choose your own flights

We will plan all your holiday arrangements around your choice of flights no matter which destination airport or arrival time you desire.


Or if you prefer ... Let us do the Legwork!

If you would like some assistance in searching for a suitable flight, simply pass on the details of your preferred departure airports, flight times and price range and we will endeavour to find a flight which best suits your needs. Once we have found a suitable journey, we will provide you with flight details and reservation instructions so you are able to book directly with the airline and communicate your assistance requests directly while making the most of their special offers.

Increased right for disabled air travellers

On the 26th July 2008, new European regulation was passed to guarantee more rights for disabled people and people with reduced mobility when travelling by air in Europe.  Set accessibility standards have been introduced to all European airports and assistance should be made available where needed throughout the entirety  of your journey.  Airports in Sweden have long been pioneers in the provision of access for all customers and when travelling to the country you can rest assured that all your needs will be catered for from start to finish.

In order to receive the appropriate level of assistance for your journey, it is imperative that you inform the airline of your mobility restrictions and assistance requirements when you book your flight.
