How long would it take to get to Antarctica from England?

Answer 1

The quickest way to get from London to Antarctica would be to fly:

* London, UK - Hong Kong, China: 11.5-12.25 hours depending on the airline and aircraft There is usually about a 2 hour minimum stop in Hong Kong.

* Hong Kong, China - Auckland, New Zealand - Christchurch, New Zealand: 14-18 hours depending on the aircraft and on flight connection times from Auckland. * Christchurch, New Zealand - McMurdo Sound, Antarctica: 5 or 7-8 hours depending on the aircraft. Note that the flights to Antarctica require you to be wearing Antarctic Clothing. This is specialized clothing and is issued a few days before the flight so a few days are required in Christchurch before travelling on to Antarctica.

(The Antarctic Clothing issued will take up about 9kg of the 34kg baggage allowance per person allowed on this flight.)

Answer 2

Since there is no commercial air service to transport you to anywhere on the Antarctic continent, your time and expense depends on the size of the aircraft, the number of people in your crew, the price of fuel, equipment and food required for your visit to your chosen Antarctic destination.

You can fly commercially from UK to New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Argentina or South Africa, and then commence your private journey from one of those locations.
