Another airline fails leaving thousands potentially stranded:

It was sad to learn that Fly Globespan, Scotland’s Largest Airline, had gone into Administration last evening with all flights cancelled. This leaves many disappointed holiday makers hoping to go away for Christmas and thousands potentially stranded abroad.

Amro used Globespan for many of our Scottish departures. Last night, we contacted all our passengers overseas, many of whom were unaware of the demise until we called, to advise them of their new return flights which we had re-booked on alternative carriers. This was all at no extra cost to them as they are fully protected under our ATOL.

This morning, we have contacted passengers due to go away over the next few months. Rather than simply cancel and refund their money, we have worked to re-book them and ensure they can still enjoy their holiday – again at no additional cost.

By lunchtime, everyone was sorted – we even helped some clients who had not booked with us but were staying in the same resorts – and we have had some great emails of thanks. We celebrated our success with mince pies!

Thanks everyone !

Tenerife & Gran Canaria - Two Centre Holidays

Possibly the most popular question we are asked is "where else is there to go besides Gran Canaria that isn't going to cost the earth?"

Well, the answer is a two centre holiday combining a few days in the south of Tenerife with a few days in Gran Canaria. And by flying out on Saturdays and returning on Mondays, you can have 9 days holidays for no more than your usual annual holiday leave in going to Gran Canaria only.

Our resort in the south of Tenerife is Playa de las Americas. Here you'll find all the fun and frolics of Gran Canaria but on a slightly less frenetic scale but still with gay bars and discos and a super chill-out bar/resort at Playaflor. There are several gay beaches and cruising areas and the mix of golden and black volcanic sand adds a certain "je ne sais quoi" to lying on the beach.

And did we mention the weather? We have a sneaky feeling that Playa de las Americas beaches are slightly warmer in the winter as they don't seem to get that chilly wind off the sea that you can get in Gran Canaria.

It's great value too, adding around just a £100 to a 7 night holiday in Gran Canaria for the extra two nights and the short flight transfer between the two islands.
