Flybe Doubling Passenger Loyalty Points To Celebrate Brussels Award

Flybe

Win-win for Belgium-bound travellers with two-for-one Rewards4all points

Flybe, Europe�s largest and most successful regional airline and largest scheduled carrier out Manchester International Airport, is celebrating having won the prestigious 2008 Brussels Airport Environmental Award by offering double Rewards4all points on its Manchester � Brussels route. The limited time double point offer is available on bookings made between November 17 and December 15th for travel before March 28, 2009.

Since taking over the route last year following its acquisition of the former BA Connect, Flybe has upped the number of flights on this key route by some 13% to satisfy customer demand.

With three convenient flights a day operated by Flybe�s state-of-the-art Bombardier Q400 aircraft, the Manchester to Brussels route is one of the North West�s key routes. It is particularly popular with environmentally aware business travellers who need to get to the capital of Belgium and the administrative capital of the European Union in a prompt and cost effective manner. Proof of its popularity is reflected by September passenger numbers that were up 15% over the same month last year.

Mike Rutter, Flybe�s Chief Commercial Officer, comments: �We wanted to celebrate winning the Brussels Airport award and also mark the success of this key route so what better way than to reward our loyal passengers for their continued support by giving them double Rewards4all points? In these tough economic times, people are looking for the very best deal possible and our affordable fares, coupled with this great Rewards4all offer, shows our commitment to making sure that people receive the very best deal possible. It�s a win-win for all! With fares from �39.99 one way including taxes and airport charges, we would encourage customers to book early to make sure that they take advantage of the lowest possible fares.�
