Fly direct, explore more

Apple Vacations will highlight their highly sought-after charter flight tours – especially to Japan and China – perfect for those who want to avoid connecting flights and spend more time enjoying their destination.

For Japan lovers, look out for Apple Vacations’ long-running charter flights to Hokkaido and Tohoku, where winter wonderlands await.

Think powdery ski slopes, relaxing open-air hot springs, fresh seafood markets, and iconic snow festivals.

These trips are a dream come true for snow lovers, families, and onsen enthusiasts – but they sell out fast, so early booking at MATTA Fair is a must.

Also in the spotlight is their latest Urumqi charter flight series, offering three immersive routes through Xinjiang – Northern Xinjiang, Southern Xinjiang and the Silk Road.

This part of China offers jaw-dropping landscapes that shift between sun-scorched deserts, ancient Silk Road towns and snow-capped alpine lakes.

The region’s cultural richness and scenic variety make it a must-visit and the convenience of direct flights makes it even more attractive.

Autumn vibes and visa-free delights

As we move into the second half of the year, travellers can also start planning for Apple’s signature autumn departures to Japan, South Korea and China.

These destinations are especially popular now, thanks to relaxed visa-free travel policies that are driving a new tourism boom.

Imagine strolling under crimson-red beech trees in Shirakawa-go, Japan, capturing golden blooms in Jeju Island, South Korea or wandering the amber forests of Hemu Village in China’s Xinjiang during the peak of fall foliage.

With comfortably cool temperatures and vibrant landscapes, these destinations are ideal for honeymooners, photographers and family travellers alike.

Looking beyond Asia – worldwide wonders await

For travellers ready to go further, Apple Vacations offers unforgettable journeys across Europe, Africa and Australia.

Nature lovers will be thrilled with the chance to visit the Swiss Alps or Alaska’s icy fjords, while those drawn to wildlife can embark on a safari through Kenya, where they might spot the iconic Big Five roaming the savannah.

For something totally unique, the Australian Outback offers surreal desert landscapes and Aboriginal cultural experiences under starlit skies.
