blue o two abolish mandatory Manchester flight supplements
UK based dive tour operator blue o two have announced that they have abolished their standard supplement charge for flights from Manchester to Hurghada, Egypt on all new bookings.
Previously chargeable at £70 per person, blue o two have taken the decision to remove this standard additional charge for booking flights from Manchester to Hurghada meaning that no supplement applies to the vast majority of sailings to the blue o two Red Sea liveaboards from the UK. A small supplement may still be applicable to certain dates during peak seasons. This information can be checked at the time of enquiry with blue o two’s travel team.
blue o two operate and manage their own fleet of award-winning Red Sea liveaboard vessels; M/Y blue Fin, M/Y blue Horizon, M/Y blue Melody and M/Y blue Voyager. Their luxury fleet sails weekly from ports in Hurghada and Port Ghalib (Marsa Alam) which are reached via an air-conditioned coach or mini-bus from Hurghada airport.
Jason Strickland, Company Director, says: “Given the recent changes to the flight market and how we plan our Hurghada programme, we are delighted to be able to pass on these savings to all of our customers who are based in the northern parts of the UK.”
blue o two liveaboard holiday packages to the Red Sea from the UK start from as little as £695 including flights. Visit www.blueotwo.com for more information, or contact one of blue o two’s sales consultants today by emailing info@blueotwo.com or calling +44 (0)1752 480808.
