Special Airfares:
Cheap airfares are often announced by the
airlines to help increase flight loading during slow periods or to match fares
offered by competitive airlines. These fares are
typically announced at short notice (e.g. 1 day - 3 months prior to
the required date of travel). We can help you "cash-in" on
cheap airfares. If a special fare is currently not available for the
dates you want to travel, then we can offer you a "Special Fare Monitoring
Service". Call us to find out how this service works, or you can
simply join our Mailing List and we'll send you an email every time a
Special Fare is announced.
