nowfly

Following its successful soft-launch in December 2008, fast and intelligent travel search engine nowfly.co.uk has teamed up with UK travel journalist Marcus Waring to provide weekly travel tips. Each week the zip it column will bring readers the newest, finest and quirkiest destinations and activities. Abridged extracts include: * Plan de Corones/Kronplatz, South Tyrol, Italy - Kronplatz Superpark, a brand new snow park, opened here in December. Ranging from the Pro Line to the Family Fun Line, where you can be scared witless by your children�s total lack of fear, the courses have a variety of jumps and obstacles to tease your travel insurance with. * The Inferno Race, M�rren, Switzerland - challenge yourself and 1,849 others in a very big race. It usually takes decent skiers 35 minutes to complete the 15.8km course, or 15 if you are talented and actually want to win rather than just survive. Marcus has been a travel journalist in the UK for nine years.. He has worked as a travel writer and editor for a wide variety of UK papers, magazines and websites including the Guardian, the Sunday Telegraph, the Independent on Sunday, the Evening Standard, the Sunday Times Travel Magazine, Wanderlust, Marie Claire, easyJet, Voyager, Ryanair, Frommers, Expedia.com, Thisistravel.co.uk and Thehotelguru.com. Marcus comments: �I am passionate about travel and, as well as the more mainstream places and things to do, I have always been drawn to what is really new, less obvious or downright strange. From a unique cycle tour of Edinburgh to heli-hiking in British Columbia and keeping both eyes out for grizzlies, there is another world hiding between the pages of tired holiday brochures. And it is this world that I will bring to zip it and the nowflyers.� Comments CEO Dan Hart: �I�m really excited about teaming up with Marcus to launch zip it on nowfly.co.uk. Combining extensive search content with useful, interesting and fun tips is something that many of the other price-comparison sites fail to do. zip it will cover many new seasonal activities and will help our users get even more from nowfly.co.uk.� About nowfly.co.uk: nowfly.co.uk was established in January 2008. The management team comprises a mix of travel and online experts with extensive experience within these fields. CEO Dan Hart has worked within the travel and online sectors for over 15 years. - ends -
