Flights
At If Only... it is our policy to only use scheduled airlines, as we consider this to be in keeping with the quality of our product. For more detailed information on all our airline partners, please refer to the Airlines page. We are also able to offer competitively priced domestic connecting flights from regional airports. Please ask one of our reservation team for further information.
It is always possible for you to travel in style and upgrade your flights to the more luxurious premium cabins. This will also enable you to relax in the airport lounge and enjoy complimentary drinks prior to your flight. Please note that these upgrades are also available on a one-way basis. Upgrades may be more reasonably priced than you imagine and are an ideal way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or honeymoon or just to treat yourself.
Transfers
Where transfers are by land, generally speaking If Only... provide private car transfers. For tailor-made holidays we have found that our clients much prefer the exclusivity and convenience of this mode rather than a potentially laborious coach journey. Where appropriate we also provide a 'meet and greet' service, as well as helicopter and limousine transfers in some of our destinations.
Price Panels
It is not our policy to provide detailed price panels on each page. Firstly, because almost all of our holidays are tailor made specifically for you. Secondly, we very often obtain special hotel rates and airfares after the brochure has gone to print and we prefer to pass these on to you. As a general guideline, in each destination we tend to feature the hotels in value order, commencing with the least expensive.
At If Only... we are proud to support two international charities closely linked with our own business. |
The Angkor Hospital for Children in Siem Riep, Cambodia
34% of Cambodians survive on less than US$1 per day and 51% of Cambodian children are undernourished with 1 in 7 dying before they reach their 5th birthday. Angkor Hospital is a paediatric hospital which treats children both from Siem Reap and neighbouring provinces. Every child has the right to a healthy and loving life. By providing support we can make a profound difference in the life of a child and the future of a nation.
We are proud to support this worthy appeal and If Only... will contribute a £10 donation for every booking made for travel to Cambodia. For further details about the Angkor Hospital, please visit www.angkorhospital.org
The Sepilok Orangutan Appeal UK
This is a registered charity dedicated to the rehabilitation and preservation of Orangutans and their habitat in the Sabah region of Malaysian Borneo. Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre, 43 sq km of protected land at the edge of Kabili Sepilok Forest Reserve was founded to rehabilitate orphan orangutans and today around 25 young orphans are housed in the nurseries, in addition to those free in the reserve. The facility provides medical care for orphaned and confiscated orangutans as well as dozens of other wildlife species including sun bears, gibbons, Sumatran rhinos and the occasional injured elephant.
If Only... is proud to support such a worthy cause and we will donate £10 for every booking made for travel to Sabah in Malaysian Borneo. For further details please visit www.orangutan-appeal.org.uk
