Regional airline Air Southwest is launching a new weekday flights from Aberdeen airport to Devon and Cornwall in South West England.

The service will operate twice a day from Monday, February 28, to Plymouth in Devon and Newquay in Cornwall. Seats are on sale now.

Air Southwest is helping to put Devon and Cornwall on the world map by making its seats available on the global distribution reservations system (GDS) used by travel agents throughout the UK around the world.

Air Southwest commercial director Mike Coombes said: “We expect this new link to be especially popular with business travellers in the marine and energy sectors who often go from one end of the country to another and need the speed and convenience of air travel, rather than spending more than 10 hours on the train. But we also hope it will appeal to anyone considering a short break in Devon and Cornwall, which are great places to visit any time of year.”

Ryanair flights to Greek Island from Liverpool

Ryanair Summer services commenced from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (JLA) with the airline's inaugural flight to the Greek Island of Kos taking off from the airport early this morning. Flights to Rhodes start tomorrow and their flights to Lodz in Poland resume again at the weekend.

Ryanair is delighted to launch its Greek routes from Liverpool, which will operate twice weekly to Kos (Wednesdays and Sundays) and Rhodes (Thursdays and Mondays) making both destinations ideal for a weekend in the sun or a longer getaway. Bookings on the new Greek routes are going through the roof and with fares starting from as little as £39.99 one way inclusive of taxes for travel in May and June, we urge all passengers to log onto www.ryanair.com today to avoid disappointment."

Both Greek destinations are part of the Dodecanese group of islands located in the Aegean Sea. Kos was reportedly visited by Hercules in Roman mythology whilst Rhodes - the largest in this group of islands and historically, is famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today both are popular summer holiday destinations.This is the first time that Ryanair have operated flights to Greece from Liverpool and since going on sale just over two months ago, the airline have seen record levels of sales for their Kos flight, for what looks likely to be one of their most popular services of the Summer.

Thankfully with Ryanair's summer season now underway, the region's holidaymakers have even more great opportunities to get away to more reliable hot weather. There are few better places for this than the island of Kos, with the convenience of flying from your local airport and at some of the lowest fares around".

no debit card fees for booking tickets on Monarch

low cost airlines Monarch has abolished the fees it charges passengers for using debit cards to book tickets.
In a move that will put pressure on its rivals to follow its lead, Monarch is eliminating debit card fees and introducing a fixed fee for all credit card bookings.
All customers using debit cards to book Monarch’s scheduled flights will incur no booking fees, whilst customers electing to pay using a credit card will be charged a £10 fee, regardless of the value of the transaction or the number of people travelling.
Conrad Clifford, the Chief Executive of Monarch Group, said: “In these difficult economic times, there is absolutely no justification advertising one fare and then stinging consumers with hidden excess charges. “Obviously, we would prefer not have to charge customers for using any payment cards at all. But by abolishing debit card fees and introducing a flat fee for using credit cards, we are doing everything we can to be transparent and fair to our customers,” Mr Clifford added.
Monarch is in negotiations with credit card companies to reduce fees further – and has pledged to further reduce the amount it charges customers upon the successful completion of those talks.
The payment card fee announcement comes as Monarch said that it is to focus on scheduled operations as it unveiled a new brand.
The move towards positioning Monarch as a scheduled airline is a significant shift in strategy for the Monarch Group, which has a long legacy of charter operations.
At the heart of the rebrand is a commitment to transparent and simple pricing and the introduction of Monarch’s “Build your own class” concept of flying.
Customers who are looking for the cheapest possible flight will be able to fly on Monarch, with an allocated seat, for a fare that is competitive against the no-frills carriers. Add-ons, such as hot meals, seats with extra leg room and extra baggage allowance, are offered at point of booking for additional small sums.
The concept will enable Monarch’s passengers to choose the services they want, without being obliged to pay for anything they don’t want.
