Book a Flight on ArkeFly

Step1

Book a flight on ArkeFly through an agent. Choose someone with experience booking trips in this portion of the world. A working understanding of Dutch wouldn't hurt, either.

Step2

Ask your travel agent about ArkeFly's best deals. Your agent may be able to work with the Arke travel organization to provide a package that suits your budget.

Step3

Expect to pay mid-range prices when you book airfare on this regional carrier. Your total, however, will depend on your destination. Keep in mind that ArkeFly offers complete travel packages. Take advantage of one to significantly trim your costs.

Step4

Make sure all your travel documents are current, including your passport and visa.

Step5

Check the U.S. Department of State's Web site for any warnings concerning travel to ArkeFly's destinations and for immunization requirements. Trips to the tropics often require malaria vaccines.

Step6

Bookmark a currency exchange site so that you can "translate" the prices of your airfare and monitor how much your money will be worth during your trip.

Tips & Warnings

ArkeFly does not currently offer an English-language Web site or phone number for direct booking.
In spite of the Dutch-language Web site, you can glean some information by looking at pictures, lists and words similar to English.
ArkeFly charges for food. You can purchase anything from a Mars Bar to a sandwich to a split of champagne.
