GMT's marine airfares are specifically designed to assist the yachting
community with travel from their homes to wherever the vessel is located in the
world... and back. Some examples of people who qualify for marine airfares are:
- Captains
- Engineers
- Mechanics
- Stewards/Stewardesses
- Chefs
- Technicians
- Architects
- Builders/Surveyors
- Brokers
- Management
- Company trainers
- Contractors who are traveling to carry out work on a vessel (docked, at sea
or even to a hull in a dry dock)
- And many other positions, as long as they are going to join the vessel for
the purpose of work.
If you are in doubt whether or not you qualify for marine airfares, use the
following rule:
In all cases, people traveling with a marine net ticket MUST be traveling to
join a vessel where they will be included on the yacht's manifest, or be
repatriated from a vessel on which they were included on the yacht's manifest.
Failure to produce proper documentation may result in denied boarding on the
aircraft.
If you qualify, our staff will be on hand via email, online booking form, phone,
fax, Skype or text to handle your requests. At time of booking, you will be
asked to provide GMT with the name of your vessel and which country it is
registered to. Once we have those details, we can assist you with your request.
Once suitable flights are found and a method of payment agreed upon, we will
ask you to confirm all details before issuing the ticket. Most tickets we issue
are electronic tickets delivered via e-mail, however in certain circumstances,
we still issue paper and prepaid tickets.
As it is a privilege that the airlines extend marine airfares to the private
yachting community, we need to ensure that everyone using marine fares and the
associated benefits are qualified to use the fares. Therefore, we follow the
airlines' policies closely and advise our travelers to carry proof that they are
indeed traveling to or from a vessel for work purposes. Forms of proof that are
accepted by airlines include: a letter on company/yacht letterhead outlining the
need to travel, a seaman’s log book or a company contract showing the details of
employment and the embarkation port. You may be asked to produce this
documentation during check-in at the airport.
GMT's marine airfares are available to most worldwide destinations, and have
assisted thousands of travelers and companies reduce their travel costs
considerably.
We offer a 24-hour booking service via any of our worldwide offices. All of
our offices are owned and and supported by GMT staff and are not subcontracted
to any concessions. We hope you will contact us for a quote in the near
future.
