3. The writer will get to Antarctica by plane.
4. The writer will go to Antarctica by plane.

[Thank you for your help. Can we use both 'get to' and 'go to'? Are both the same in meaning?]

Answer 1

Those two phrasal verbs are pretty much interchangeable, especially 3 and 4. I think I would use #1 far more often than 2, though, but 2 is not incorrect.
