Bag a bargain this winter

news: Bag a bargain this winter

Thomsonfly.com has made it easier to find their lowest fares back from the Algarve to the UK this winter by adding the new Farefinder service to its website, which is a quick and easy way to find the cheap fares available, enabling the flexible traveller to fly for less.

The new facility has been introduced just as Thomsonfly.com has announced its winter 2005/06 flying programme from Faro, offering flights from November 2005 to March 2006. The UK low fares airline will operate regular, low fare flights from Faro to Bournemouth, Coventry and Doncaster throughout the winter period from as little as 29,99 euros one way, including taxes and charges.

The Thomsonfly.com summer schedule is operating until the end of October and some great bargains are still available. To obtain the best fares when using Farefinder, Thomsonfly.com suggests the following tips:

• Flexibility is the key – if you can travel mid week, the lower demand days, and are flexible as to when you travel, you can have your pick of the lowest fares.

• The early booker catches the low fares – if you know when you want to travel, then book your flights as soon as possible – this gives you the best choice of flights and fares.

• Choose by fare – the new Farefinder enables people to choose their flight by the fare they would like to pay, enabling them to go where their wallet will take them.

• Avoid Bank Holidays to bank your cash – Bank Holidays are the times when many people want to travel. If you have to go then book as early as possible, otherwise choose the weekend before or the weekend after to make your money go further.

Commenting on the new Farefinder service, Maria Heckel, marketing director for Thomsonfly.com, said: “Our research shows that the key reasons our customers choose Thomsonfly.com are the great fares and convenience of flying from an airport close to home. The new Farefinder makes it even easier for people to choose the cheapest fare for their trip and we anticipate that this will reduce the amount of time taken to book flights by 10 minutes – so technology gives people the best fares and saves them time.

“With the current success of the Faro route, we are confident that this new facility and the new winter schedule will be popular with our customers as they can travel more easily to the UK, to visit friends and relatives, for business travel or to enjoy a relaxing leisure break.”

Thomsonfly.com routes connect the UK with Spain, Holland, Austria, France, Czech Republic and Jersey, enabling customers to travel onto other Thomsonfly.com destinations.
