Why take the train when you can travel cheaper and faster by plane?

Flybe promises passengers a cheaper and more reliable service in the face of recent rail price increases. (So, if you interesting in cheap flightts, you can visit our Cheap flight guide)

Flybe, one of Europe’s leading low cost airlines, is reminding passengers that in light of the recent New Year price hikes by rail operators around the country, flying is a viable travel option in place of rail travel providing passengers with a fast, direct, efficient and low cost route to destinations across the UK.

Flybe provides passengers with a comprehensive route network which spans the backbone of Britain, operating regular flights to 21 destinations in the UK. And, with the introduction of online check-in last year, passengers face minimal fuss at the airport and can enjoy fast, efficient and good value domestic travel, without having to worry about the price increases of up to 8.4% imposed on train journeys this New Year.

Not only do many airlines also operate transparent pricing policies so that passengers are fully aware of the real costs to travel, flying is also more consumer friendly. Flybe champions short haul flying and currently operates one of the most environmentally friendly fleets in the world following the introduction of the Embraer 195 aircraft to its fleet last year.

Says Mike Rutter, Chief Commercial Officer, Flybe: “At Flybe, we operate a comprehensive domestic route network providing our passengers with direct, reliable and low cost air travel. The significant price increases imposed on rail travel at the beginning of the year have made it virtually impossible for some people to travel by train to destinations across the UK and in view of this we would like to remind stranded commuters that air travel is a viable alternative and we will welcome passengers onboard our services.

“Our environmentally friendly fleet provides efficient transport links to destinations across the UK and Europe and our flight prices remain low, with customers able to view each component of their fare thanks to our transparent pricing policy. And, in stark contrast to train operators, in January we are also running a sale on some of our flights to provide customers with even cheaper fares, so we would advise stranded train travellers to log on now to bag themselves a flight bargain!”
