Travelling to the Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands Government has confirmed the recommencement of the Chile LATAM flights from 2 July 2022.

From 4 May 2022, there is no longer a requirement to quarantine in the Islands and the essential visitor policy will end, which means that the barriers to resuming these flights have now considerably reduced. Please visit the Falkland Islands Government website for more information and requirements.

The Falkland Islands Government plan for the Sao Paulo route to resume later in this year, most likely towards the beginning of the summer season in November 2022.

Safe Travels Scheme

The Falkland Islands Tourist Board (FITB) is delighted to announce that it has earned a global stamp of approval from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) as a Safe Travels destination for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the high level of health and hygiene protocols adopted. 

Tourism businesses that are members of the Safe Travels Scheme are individually assessed to ensure compliance with the protocols, and are able to display the Safe Travels Stamp and Certificate in their properties, or at their business, and on websites and in other marketing materials.

Executive Director of FITB, Stephanie Middleton, said: “we’re delighted to have earned this stamp of approval from WTTC, and with the reopening of the islands for international tourism hope that as many businesses as possible will embrace it, demonstrating to our visitors that we take health and hygiene seriously.”
