Arriva the low cost intercontinental
Jet2.com and jet2holidays.com launch from November to stop from Leeds Bradford transatlantic flights to New York. The timetable presented by the company includes four departures between November and December that will exploit the tourist theme of Christmas shopping in the Big Apple (at a cost of £ 579, about 730 euros) and the offer of inclusive packages including 3 nights in a hotel at a cost of approximately 700 £ (880 euros, all the details on the site of the airline, here. The leaders of society include a large expansion in the number of flights already in summer 2009. And the interesting thing is that flights should be operational enabling coincidences useful even for non-English passengers.
Despite some bleak analysis journalistic the phenomenon of cheap flights, to put in the words of Neil Young, “is here to stay.” The contradictions and limitations that characterize the offer of leaders like Ryanair and Easyjet are many, but that of cheap flights remains a highly topical phenomenon that has changed perhaps in a definitive way the culture of travel in Europe.
Thanks also to the liberalization of US-EU called Open Skies, by 2009 the low cost will open new horizons intercontinental and consequently open up new horizons in our travel. Or maybe not. We are watching.
