For Marylebone / Lord's members travelling to the Centenary Test

FFT are based in Victoria, Australia, and are happy to quote London-origin fares by email or phone. If you would rather deal with an agency in your own time zone, you are very welcome to book your own flights or use your usual agent - just send us your times so we can line up your transfers.

Frank Ford Travel (AOK Travel Pty Ltd) is an independent travel provider with its own terms; bookings and payments for flights and insurance are made directly with them.

Travel insurance

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering medical costs, cancellations and personal belongings for the full duration of your travel. FFT can quote a policy for you alongside your flights. Cover is arranged and paid for directly with them, and the policy terms are between you and the insurer - we don't advise on cover or claims.
