Flybe flew their first flight in 1979 although at the time they were known as Jersey European Airways. This was the result of the merger of Intra Airways and Express Air Services. The merger was a success and the company did exceptionally well during the 1990s. By 200 it was renamed British European and this was changed to Flybe in 2002. In 2006 the airline purchased BA Connect and became the largest regional airline in Europe! The company has continued to perform well and is one of the best-known airlines in Europe. In 2019 Flybe was sold to a consortium. However, the subsequent global pandemic caused major issues for the airline which was forced into administration. Fortunately, the name was saved by Thyme Opco and relaunched in the Summer of 2021. Although they now offer fewer routes and run fewer planes, they are still one of the best budget airline choices.
Flybe still operates from 14 bases across the UK and offers an array of no thrills flights. This is one of the reasons they can keep the cost of flights so low. The company offers a wide variety of flights covering internal options such as Exeter to Edinburgh, and an array of European offerings. At present, Flybe is limiting the longer-haul flights but this is likely to change in the future as the airline rebuilds.
Flybe is still in the middle of creating their new website which means you will struggle to book flights directly with them. However, this will shortly change and the site will adopt the standard approach of input fields for destination and date to help you find the best flight options. Alongside this, you’ll find promotions and special offers as well as all the latest news from the industry and the business. It will be worth looking at, especially if you want the best deal or aren’t sure where to head first. Of course, there are several other options available. • Travel Agents If you like the personal touch then the best approach is to visit your local travel agent and ask them about what flights are available. They have access to all the offerings from all the different airlines, including Flybe. You can choose to book exclusively with Flybe or you may want to look at what the other budget airlines have to offer. Your local travel agent can take care of everything for you. • Online Options Flybe will offer flights and bookings directly from their website. However, it is also possible to book their flights through one of the comparison sites. They offer tickets from an array of airlines, allowing you to choose the best deal. You’ll find this is often Flybe and you can even specify flights from them if you wish.
It is also possible to book a flight with Flybe in person at the airport. Of course, you’ll need to be close to one of their airport bases to make this a viable option. Alternatively, you can turn up ready to fly and see what they have to offer. You’ll find the customer assistants at the Flybe desk are very helpful. If you need to you can even call them to get the same professional and friendly service.
Flybe has always prided itself on offering low-cost flights, helping your money to go further. However, this does mean no thrills.
