Antarctic Flights

Has anyone done the Christmas flight to Antarctica? Antarctica Flights: Welcome

I'm interested to hear opinions on how the seat rotation system works...did you get to see all you wanted? were people co-operative.

I read somewhere that the aircraft have an operating floor of 10,000 feet. How is the detail from that height?

What was the general impression of the experience?

Re: Antarctic Flights

The prices have gone up somewhat (assume fuel), and the number of flights have been cut. They used to run around 6 flights over Dec/Jan IIRC.

A ~3 year old review was posted by Kiwi Flyer over at Flyertalk. Makes some interesting reading:
