FlyBe pull out all the stops

Says Andrea Hayes, Flybe’s Regional General Manager: "“As soon as the whistle blew at the Aviva Stadium last Saturday we knew that the demand for seats to England would be huge given the incredible support of the Ulster fans. The logistics of scheduling additional last-minute flights for such an event is complex so we’ve pulled out all the stops to see what we can do ..... welcome news to another 78 supporters who will now be able to cheer our team to victory in Twickenham"



Marketing speak at it's finest. 1 extra flight ! This smacks more of Flybe grabbing free publicity, while making more than a few quid.

BHD- LGW Return fare out Friday, back Sunday £286.19
Cheapest Southampton out Saturday, back Sunday £180 - plenty more expensive.

Stand up for the Ulstermen -- more like stand and deliver.
