You can bag flights to the Far East, US or Europe for just £1.99 – but you need to be quick!
| 27th June 2019
Walkers Sensations is offering people across the UK the chance to purchase one of 100 flights to Bangkok, New Orleans and Bologna for just £1.99 per flight – the same price of a packet of crisps.
Over a three-week period, a temporary digital travel agency, www.SensationsGlobalTravel.com, will be open for business, and starting with Bologna, 100 flights will go on sale across three consecutive Thursdays (27th June, 4th July and 11th July).
The choice of delicious foodie destinations is inspired by popular flavours of crisps.
The launch of the £1.99 sale comes after research revealed that over half (55%) of millennials (16-35 year olds) claim a lack of money is one of the main factors stopping them from travelling as much as they’d like to.
Of the 1,500 people aged 16-35 questioned, more than three quarters (79%) would rather spend the money they do have on unique experiences, such as travelling, over saving up to buy a home or car. Although keen to travel, one in 10 (12%) said they had never travelled outside of the UK, with a third (31%) of those claiming they felt trapped by their inability to do so.
Alison Kirk, Brand Manager, Walkers Sensations said: “For those who manage to get their hands on one of the 100 flights, we hope that by reducing the price down to the cost of a packet of crisps, we’re able to unlock an exciting feast for the senses, giving them a chance to explore new and far-flung places”.
To be in with a chance of getting one of the 100 select flights, people must visit the temporary site between 7pm-8pm and register their details, with a different destination on sale each week.
After the hour is up, people will be contacted to let them know if they have been selected, with people chosen at random. For those who don’t get the chance to buy a £1.99 flight, all is not lost, as entrants will still be able to access cheap discounted flights to amazing destinations worldwide with a free one-month Premium trial to Jack’s Flight Club – the largest cheap flights members club in UK and Europe.
In partnership with lastminute.com, the 100 flights up for grabs will start with 50 to Bologna on Thursday 27th June. Followed by 25 to Bangkok on Thursday 4th July and 25 to New Orleans on Thursday 11th July. All proceeds will be donated to charity.
