Flybe UK Travel & Special Offers
Hi,
I subscribe to the Flybe 'special offers' email. It always quotes great prices but I never seem to be able to get the great prices quoted in the email, in fact I haven't even got close. The email states £22.50 from Southampton to Leeds so long as you avoid Mondays, Fridays, obvious holidays and book two weeks in advance before the 4th of August - this includes taxes and charges. I got the email two days ago and it was entitled "summer sizzlers" - implying one could fly in the summer. I have tried the whole of August and the lowest fare I can get is £70. A considerable difference to their quoted £22.50 Has anyone also suffered this problem and if so, can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please? |

Probably there were only two seats at that price in the whole summer
period. That way, they can legally offer a low fare and get your attention, and several people in your position are likely to end up booking at their higher fares. You could contact trading standards (either your local branch or in Exeter, where Flybe are based) but the best solution is to take the train. |
