Customize your trip

With our True Choice Program, you can choose to stay longer before or after your trip on your own, or combine two adventures to maximize your value. Here are more ways to create the OAT adventure that’s right for you:

  • Choose our standard air routing, or work with us to select the airline and routing you prefer
  • Make your own international flight arrangements directly with the airline, applying frequent flyer miles if available
  • Stay overnight in a connecting city before or after your trip
  • Request to arrive a few days early to get a fresh start on your adventure
  • Choose to “break away” before or after your trip, spending additional days or weeks on your own
  • Extend your adventure with our optional pre- and post-trip extensions
  • Combine your choice of OAT adventures to maximize your value
  • Upgrade to business or premium economy class

The air options listed above will involve an additional fee of $100 per person for confirmed requests (as well as incremental airfare costs based on your specific choice). This service fee will be waived for Inner Circle/Sir Edmund Hillary Club members.

Or, when you make your reservation, you can choose our standard air routing, for which approximate travel times are shown below.

Pre-Trip: Burma & the Irrawaddy River
7 nights from $1395
T6920

Come to Burma and feel the inspiration that prompted the noted British writer, W. Somerset Maugham, to write of it in the 1920s: “The Shwe Dagon Pagoda rose superb as it did on the first morning it had risen, glistening with its gold, like a sudden hope in the dark night of the soul ... glistening against the fog and smoke of the thriving city.” Burma, currently known as Myanmar, is a forest-clad country of mountain ranges and river systems, with an abundance of glittering, golden pagodas. It is located between Thailand, Laos, China, India, and the Bay of Bengal. After a period of isolation, it has again opened itself to visitors, while remaining one of the least Western-influenced countries in Southeast Asia. Burma has magical sights, friendly people, and its own distinctive culture. This is a country that is still catching up with its more prosperous neighbors, but you will find it full of charming cities and welcoming people.

Spend two nights exploring the sights and sounds of Phnom Penh, and spend three days near the spectacular temple of Angkor Wat (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Set amid lush tropical forests, the temples showcase the creative genius of the Khmer empire, which reached its pinnacle between the ninth and 14th centuries. You’ll have expert guidance to the ancient city of Angkor, which extends for miles around this principal temple, containing hundreds of archaeological sites.
