Check it out here – there are some great destinations – Amsterdam, Prague, Palma among others. Despite the restrictions, we’d expect it to be fully suscribed.
Is this the future for sales? At a wild guess, those loads midweek from Manchester must be pretty poor, so this is a cheap way of increasing them (assuming that some passengers book coming back, they will not lose too much money).
With most sales requiring a longer booking period, this could be a new interesting tactic for boosting load factors. Basically the airline could say: get a free flight out, as long as you buy the return.
It could add up. Let’s take someone flying to Amsterdam. The return will cost £80, outward is free. Average cost per sector is £40, which is pretty much an average price. The downside of course, is that the airline wouldn’t know who would be flying until the day before.
Lucky enough to get on one of these deals? Let us know.
