“Last year my wife and I, with friends, thoroughly enjoyed travelling on the day trip charter to the Festival of Outback Opera in Winton. Every detail ensured a memorable experience – from a private champagne breakfast, to a guided tour of the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum, to the evening highlight of world-class opera under the outback stars. I cannot recommend the day more highly.” – 2024 Charter Flight Attendee
