BAG A BARGAIN How Brits can snap up return flights from just £72 from East Midlands Airport with little-known TUI hack
Brits could snap up bargain return flights from as low as £72 from East Midlands Airport to the most popular holiday hotspots thanks to a little-known TUI Airways booking trick.
The ‘insider trick’, revealed by TUI UK’s Commercial Director Chris Logan, reveals how savvy travellers can snap up last-minute flights just weeks before departure which include bargain breaks for a fraction of the usual price.
On TUI’s dedicated ‘Cheap Flights’ page Brits can find empty seats on return routes which are regularly released at heavily reduced prices in the weeks and months leading up to departure.
"If you’ve got a bit of flexibility, this is one of the easiest ways to find a great-value getaway. It’s not something everyone knows about, but checking our flights page regularly can uncover some genuinely low fares, especially closer to departure as we look to fill remaining seats," said Chris Logan.
"We’re talking everything from the Canaries to the Balearic Islands, as well as firm favourites like Greece, Turkey and Cyprus. Because TUI Airways flies from 22 regional airports like EMA across the UK, it makes it easy to pick a date, pack a bag and fly from your closest airport."
The best deals tend to be snapped up by those who can be flexible on dates. But it’s not just quick getaways either, the deals can stretch from short breaks to two-week holidays or even longer.
Chris added: "For customers who don’t mind when or where they go, it can be a really simple way to save money on flights and land some of the best-value fares”.
