Corsican Places celebrates its first flight with BA CityFlyer to Calvi, Corsica at London Stansted airport today and, to mark the event, delighted two lucky couples, chosen at random, with some surprise send-off gifts.

As passengers prepared to board this morning’s flight, the tour operator presented customers Mr and Mrs Robb from Leicester with a £250 holiday voucher to use on a future holiday booking. They were followed by Mr and Mrs Kilpatrick from Edinburgh, who were announced winners of a "Corsican dinner on us" giveaway, receiving 100 euros in cash to spend at a restaurant of their choice.

Excited to get the season underway Charlotte Eames, Product Manager for Corsican Places commented:

"We're thrilled to start the season off with our surprise customer giveaways. Operating out of London Stansted with a great new flight partner and offering even more fantastic accommodation choices this summer, we’re confident our programme has something for everyone. Whether it’s a private villa with a pool or a one-of-a-kind character property for two, a beachfront apartment, or a stay at one of our wide-ranging hotels, we have it covered. Our walking holidays have also been expanded to include some fabulous bucket list adventures."

London Stansted, Head of Brand and Marketing, Neringa Ohrstrom, said:

“We are delighted to welcome Corsican Places back to London Stansted and launch this exciting route to Calvi with their new flight partner, BA CityFlyer. The destination is an excellent addition to our extensive and unrivalled network that covers over 190 destinations in Europe and the Middle East. The flights will surely be a hit with tourists from London and the East of England who want to explore this beautiful island from their local airport.”

Corsica is renowned for its outstanding beauty and white sand beaches that rival those of the Caribbean, while its verdant mountains with fragrant maquis offer a striking contrast.  Seven-night holiday packages are available from £479pp including flights, 23kg hold luggage, transfers, or car hire and accommodation.
