Airlines typically release flight schedules around 10–11 months before the travel date.
Since Three Bears Travel does not book flights on behalf of customers, we recommend arranging your flights as soon as your tour dates are confirmed. Booking early often provides better availability and pricing. You may choose any airline or route that best suits your travel plans.

Meal arrangements vary depending on the specific tour. Each itinerary page clearly outlines which meals are included so you can plan with confidence.

Some tours may provide selected meals at local restaurants, while others offer more flexibility for you to explore food options on your own. For custom tours, meal inclusions can be tailored to your preferences.

Please refer to the day-by-day itinerary on each tour page for the exact meal details.
