Airlines and Flights

We use a variety of airlines depending upon where in the World you are wanting to travel.

Our partner airlines which we use:


Virgin Atlantic for our Caribbean Trips:

Virgin Atlantics mission statement shows that safety, security and consistent delivery of the basics are the foundation of everything they do.  Virgin Atlantic is a major British success story; from their first leased jumbo, to the UK's second largest long haul airline they have come a long way and the last twenty-five years have flown by! In 1984 Richard Branson announced to the world that a high quality, value for money airline would begin operating within three months.  In 1992 Richard sold Virgin Music to Thorn EMI and invested the proceeds into Virgin Atlantic, improving on an already great service. In the same year the first super economy service was launched and became their award winning Premium Economy. During the Nineties Virgin Atlantic spent most of their time buying new planes, expanding route network and generally breaking new ground in passenger service, both on the ground and in the air. In 1999 for services to entrepreneurship Richard received a knighthood.
