UK’s Number One Domestic Airline Adds seats at London Gatwick, Southampton, Jersey, Aberdeen and Dusseldorf to keep Britain on the Move.

Flybe regularly reviews travel disruption caused by industrial action on all forms of public transport be it trains, ferries or aviation and increases frequency and availability accordingly.

In order to give passengers impacted by the British Airways action a reliable and great value alternative, Flybe can therefore confirm it has increased the number of seats available on a number of our UK and European routes. Specifically, these are London Gatwick to and from Aberdeen, Jersey and Dusseldorf. Additionally, Flybe has upped the number of seats available for purchase from Southampton to a range of destinations to assist BA customers who otherwise might fly from Heathrow or Gatwick.

This month, Asia’s original and best destination spa, Chiva-Som launches its brand new golf clinic. The new Chiva-Som Golf Clinic incorporates a thoughtfully designed series of all-in-one packages to suit all levels of golfer, from beginner to advanced players. Tailored to individual golfers’ skills and requirements, the packages will be offered in conjunction with nutritional consultation and analysis.

Chiva-Som’s resident professional golf coach will analyse the player’s game and technique, helping to fine-tune their swing and eliminate any slice or pull, in addition to giving expert tips on how to manage the game as players move around the course.

Guests returning from the fairway will experience a soothing Deep Tissue Massage delivered by one of Chiva-Som’s world-class specialist physiotherapists, designed to ease the common golfing ailment of tight, overworked muscles. During the second half of the course, players’ legs can feel heavy and tired which can result in more bogeys than pars. Chiva-Som’s renowned nutritionists will help put this right, giving expert advice on food intake to ensure optimum energy levels right until the 18th green. Balanced nutrition will provide core muscles with the requisite energy to perform and recover, bringing a positive effect to guests’ ongoing health and lifestyle, during and beyond their visit to Chiva-Som.

All Chiva-Som golf clinic packages include one 55-minute professional golf lesson at one of Hua Hin’s leading courses, including Royal Hua Hin, Banyan Golf, Black Mountain, Spring Field Golf and Palm Hill; one 55-minute biomechanics session; and one 55-minute Deep Tissue Massage.

No.1 Traveller launches on Monday 1 February – a new approach to catching a flight that combines chauffeured airport transfers, airport concierge services and exclusive lounges, to create a seamless journey for the discerning passenger, from driveway to runway.

Created by innovative travel company, the No.1 Group, which last year opened stylish new lounges at Gatwick and Stansted airports (called No.1 Gatwick and No.1 Stansted), the No.1Traveller experience finally makes catching a flight a real pleasure.

No.1 Traveller is available to everyone, from companies to the individual business traveller, to the holidaymaker or honeymooner.

No.1 Traveller offers a tailored service at each step of the journey to and through the airport, with a focus on exceptional service, delivered at great value. No.1 recognises the need for a stress-free, and reliable experience when catching a plane. And, as airport security once again becomes more time-consuming, No.1 offers havens within the airport, where the traveller can make the most of their time, working or relaxing as they choose.

Airport Transfers The company boasts a modern fleet of Mercedes-Benz E, S and V class vehicles, with punctual, experienced and immaculately-presented drivers, and prices comparable to the cost of a standard people carrier from London’s leading minicab operators. Prices to Heathrow from London’s West End start at £58.20.

Concierge Whether printing off vital documents, arranging a return car journey or sorting out what to do with the house keys, No.1’s concierge service is an invaluable safety net for any traveller, and is available to all our members and anyone using our services on the day.

Lounges No.1 lounges are a haven within the airport. Each lounge has a number of areas in which to relax, work or socialise, features a fully-tended bar and offers table service from our welcoming and attentive team. The complimentary food and drink offering includes a range of cakes, savoury snacks and fresh fruit, with light bistro-style dishes available to order. The bar serves a full range of hot and cold drinks, wines, beers and spirits. A range of champagne and cocktails is also available for purchase. Lounge access can be purchased for £17.50 per adult (or less, if booked as part of a package with a car, or by using a No.1 card).

Corporate Membership & the No.1 Card Companies can optimise their staff’s travel time in one easy move by taking a corporate membership for five or more employees.

Each member gets a No.1 card, which also offers discounts on cars, lounges and complimentary use of the concierge service – which employees can also use for their own leisure travel, as an added perk. Individual travellers can subscribe to the No.1 Card for just £28 per annum, which includes one free lounge entry.

The No.1 Group is a British company, founded by the multi award-winning West End theatre producer, Phil Cameron. “As a frequent traveller, I know how stressful and unpredictable getting to the airport can be. We’ve created No.1 Traveller to take the hassle and stress away, and to let the traveller actually enjoy catching a flight again.

“We’re excited about this major launch in the UK and to building a reputation as the obvious choice for getting you, the passenger, to your flight. Whether it’s for work or a wedding, everyone wants their trip to get off to a good start, and for the best possible price. We’re here to make sure our customers feel their journey is happening their way.”

The company opened its first lounge at JFK International Airport in 2007 and, since then, has served hundreds of thousands of satisfied passengers. It will continue to extend its services to major airports across the UK during 2010 and 2011, with coverage of over sixty percent of the UK travel market in the next eighteen months.
