H2: 🌍 What Is G Adventures? (In Simple Terms)

G Adventures is a globally trusted small‑group adventure travel company designed especially for:

First‑time solo travelers
People who want safety + freedom

H2: 🤔 The “Stupid Question” That Isn’t Stupid at All

Let’s answer your question clearly and honestly:

Does the G Adventures trip price include flights between countries?

✅ Short Answer (TL;DR)

❌ International flights (India → first destination & last destination → India) are NOT included.

⚠️ Flights between countries during the trip may or may not be included—it depends on the itinerary.

Now let’s break this down properly.

H2: ✈️ Types of Travel Costs in G Adventures (Explained Clearly)

There are three different travel cost categories you must understand:

1️⃣ International Flights (From India)

❌ Not included

You must book:

India → Trip start city
Trip end city → India

Why?

Travelers come from different countries
Gives you flexibility on dates & airlines

📌 Example: Delhi → Rome (You book this yourself)

2️⃣ In‑Trip Transportation (THIS Is Where Confusion Happens)

This includes travel during the trip, such as:

Buses
Trains
Boats
Domestic flights
Cross‑border travel

✔️ Most of this IS included in the trip price.

But…

⚠️ Not ALL flights are included in every trip.

H2: 🧠 How to Know If Flights Between Countries Are Included

Here’s the golden rule:

If it’s part of the main itinerary and mentioned under “What’s Included” → It’s covered.

✔️ Included Examples:

Bus from Bangkok → Chiang Mai
Train from Rome → Florence
Flight from Cusco → Lima (mentioned in itinerary)

❌ Not Included Examples:

Optional scenic flights
Upgrade flights
Personal detours

H2: 🌏 Multi‑Country Trips: Do You Pay Extra for Flights?

Let’s take a real example:

Example Trip:

Vietnam → Cambodia → Thailand (14 Days)

What’s Usually Included:

✔️ Buses between cities
✔️ Border crossings
✔️ Boats (like Mekong)
✔️ Local transport

What You Pay Separately:

❌ India → Vietnam
❌ Thailand → India

👉 You DO NOT book separate flights between Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand unless clearly stated.
