Another Low Cost Carrier attempting the Atlantic Route. Britflights.com

There’s a new airline promising charter flights from Vancouver & Toronto to London Gatwick. Britflights.com is beginning it’s low fare service this summer. But can we trust they’ll last?
Over the past several years, we have already seen 2 charter airlines (Zoom & Flyglobespan)flying into the UK who have gone the way of the dodo.

They promise low fares to the consumer, but should they continue to take the bite? A low fare is only good fare if the airline keeps to their schedule and don’t go bust before they get back home. How many travellers over the last few years have been left stranded and stuck purchasing brand new tickets last minute at high prices, and stuck waiting for potential refunds on cancelled flights. How many times does this need to happen before consumers think twice before purchasing?

Everyone is looking for a good deal, but in this industry you really need to look at all the options and consider the possible risks when you decide on taking a gamble with an unknown, new charter airline. You won’t be talking about that great deal you got on your flight if your left stranded with no flight.

Need we be reminded of the numerous airlines that have gone bankrupt over the last decade and left thousands and thousands of passengers scrambling.

  1. Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey. Flights to Dar Es Salaam
