It is important to make sure there is flexibility with your return ticket / date in case of delays in Antarctica. You can either buy a flexible ticket or a ticket that you have the ability to change for a small fee. Some people book their return flight for several days after they are due back from Antarctica.

Cape Town International Airport (IATA: CPT, ICAO: FACT), located about 20km (12 miles) from the city centre, is the primary airport serving Cape Town. Direct flights to Cape Town are available from major cities like London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Munich, Zurich, Istanbul, Doha, and Dubai, among others. For locations without direct flights, reaching Cape Town typically involves just one flight connection.
