Flight Farefinder helps bargain hunting travellers

20.06.2005 Low fares airline Thomsonfly.com has made it easier for travellers to find the lowest fares by adding a new ‘Farefinder’ service on its website.

The Farefinder displays the cheapest net fares enabling the flexible traveller to fly for less. The cheapest fares currently on the site are displayed in the Farefinder - currently as low as £1.49 for one way fares excluding taxes and charges. This starting fare is currently available on the Coventry to Shannon route for departures at the end of June. The Farefinder feature searches fares for each of Thomsonfly.com’s three UK bases in Coventry, Doncaster and Bournemouth.

Commercial Director of Thomsonfly.com Guy Stephenson, said, “Our research shows that the key reasons for choosing Thomsonfly.com for our customers are the great fares and convenience of flying from an airport close to home. This new feature of the website makes it even easier for people to choose the cheapest fare for their trip. We anticipate that this will reduce the amount of time taken to book flights by 10 minutes - so the technology gives people the best fares and saves them time.”

Thomsonfly.com provided the following tips for travellers seeking the best fares:

• Flexibility is key - if you can travel mid week, the lower demand days, and are flexible on when you travel you can have your pick of the lowest fares.
• The early booker catches the low fares - if you know when you want to travel then book your flights as soon as possible - this gives you the best choice of flights and fares.
• Choose by fare - the new farefinder enables people to choose their flight by the fare they would like to pay, enabling them to go where there wallet will take them - often providing interesting destination choices that they may not have considered.
• Avoid bank holidays to bank your cash - bank holidays are the times when many people want to travel, if you have to go then book as early as possible, otherwise choose the weekend before or the weekend after to make your money go further.
