Since the launch of Thomsonfly, TUI have also rebranded their charter airline, formerly known as Britannia Airways, under the Thomsonfly name. In addition to operating flights to well established holiday destinations, Thomsonfly also operate cheap flights to Paris and Amsterdam from all of their three main bases, with other mainland European cities such as Prague and Salzburg appearing in the airline's Summer 2006 programme.
Thomsonfly have additionally announced that they will operate a high-frequency low fares model on their flights from eight UK airports to popular sunshine destinations, primarily on the Spanish costas, during the summer of 2006.
Thomsonfly has further blurred the lines between scheduled and budget airline operations, but whereas Mytravellite was rolled back into parent company Mytravel's charter operation, TUI have been moving their charter flights further and further towards the no-frills model, having recently started selling long haul flights to destinations such as Florida and the Dominican Republic, from just £99 each way.
Our route listings distinguish between Thomsonfly (TOM) and the former Britannia operation, which we classify as Thomsonfly Charter (BY). Thomson still use the Air Operator's Certificate of Britannia for both operations.
Flights with both are bookable through the Thomsonfly.com website.
