Thought I post this from Travelmole, which I recieved this morning.
Flywho aims for July flights to Florida
Start-up carrier Flywho has set a date in July for its first flights from Birmingham to Florida.
The airline, which has had a number of false starts since outlining its plans two years ago, aims to run a weekly service to St Petersburg-Clearwater from July 27, with Orlando Sandford starting on July 8.
Flywho’s launch is being supported by a month-long sales blitz to more than 200 agents in the Midlands by the Florida west coast destination’s convention and visitors bureau.
Spokesman Geoff Radcliffe said: “We are extremely excited that Flywho has chosen St Petersburg/Clearwater as a destination and it underlines the popularity of our area to the UK market. Last year we welcomed over 600,000 UK visitors. It also follows the successful trend of developing flights from regional airports.”
Flywho plans a two-class ‘super economy’ service to Florida including flights to Orlando Sanford. Lead-in return prices quoted on its website start at £449.
Under its previous guise as FlyBlu, the long haul, long cost airline originally planned to start serving Florida in summer 2004 but plans were thwarted when a financial backer pulled out. Attempts to get the service off the ground last summer also came to nothing.
Report by Phil Davies
Don’t know what you think, but I think people are going to be sick of FlyWho even before they have got off the ground because they are not providing any useful updated information. If it had said that there had been a huge demand in bookings, then I could understand it, but they are just recycling the same old hype that has already been stated.
Come on guys at FlyWho at least give us something new to read, please!
