The Latest Flight Deals For Backpackers

January 11th, 2008 by The Backpackers Team

Ryan Air PlaneBackpackers on the lookout for airline flight deals in the next few months have had quite a few to choose from, particularly around Europe.

In case you haven’t had a chance to snap up any of these budget-friendly tickets, here’s a quick summary of what’s been thrown into the flight-sale mix (and is still available):

  • Ryan Air’s 2-for-1 Sale: buy one flight, get the second free (you have to buy the first one before you can claim the free one, and they won’t necessarily be on the same plane). Book your flight before Monday 14 January.
  • British Airways’ 25% Sale - 25% off selected routes (including international flights). Book by the 22nd of January, for selected travel dates (mostly between 15 January and 20 March 2008).
  • FlyBe’s New Year Sale – 8.5 million seats from £18.99 one way. Book during the month of January (no end-date given).
  • Virgin Blue’s ‘One In A Million Sale‘ – 30% off one million domestic flights, mostly for (but not limited to) travel between 15 Jan 08 – 15 Mar 08). Book before midnight 16 January ’08 (offer extended twice).
