	2011 looks set to be an interesting year for the intrepid traveller. Civil unrest in the Middle East plus the geopolitical events of the last year, reinforce the unpredictable nature of travel (arguably one of the reasons we find it so compelling). But it underscores the benefits of using a reputable and bonded tour operator. At A&K the welfare of our clients is paramount; through constant liaison with the FCO and our own staff on the ground, we are well placed to advise on the wisdom of travelling to a particular place. If we believe there is a chance your safety will be compromised, we will readily defer or refund your booking. And should a situation escalate rapidly, as we saw in Egypt recently, we will do whatever is necessary to extract you (in this case we chartered a plane to evacuate our clients from the country at the height of the tensions). Don't let events stand in the way of your travel plans. Rest assured we will look after you.

British Airways is launching several new routes this year. From March

British Airways is launching several new routes this year. From March, there will be three departures a week from Gatwick direct to the bustling city of Marrakech to savour the sights, sounds, spices and colours of this exotic city at the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains. With a myriad of boutique riads to stay in, hammams and shopping galore, Marrakech is a wonderful destination for a weekend break, just a 3.5 hour flight away.

To complement BA's existing route to Tokyo Narita, February sees five BA departures a week

to Tokyo Haneda. This airport is located close to the bustling centre of the city, making it convenient for exploring its many sights and acting as a hub for numerous connecting flights to fascinating towns and cities throughout Japan.

Alternatively, take a look at our group tour to Japan this April, led by Michael Jay, the first non-Japanese person to hold a Samurai rank since William Adams in 1600.

Our consultant (Annie Jensen) really was excellent designing a great itinery minimising our time waiting around for transfers and both hotels, Four Seasons Bali and Oberoi Lombok exceeded our expections.
