Dear Southall Travel,

Just a short note to say many thanks for all your help with sorting out our flights to Bangkok, what with the situation in Bangkok we never thought we would get there.

You were extremely helpful and polite.

You are a credit to your company.

We hope to deal with you again for our next holidays.

Many thanks.

Dear All,

In the last 3 days I have booked a number of flights with Southall Travel, thanks to the very professional service level from Sumesh.

On Monday, we received some very bad family news which resulted in Sumesh organising a flights to India for my wife within 1-2 hours of the flight leaving London. We were also running late and Sumesh constantly kept in touch to ensure that we managed to get checked in, in case we needed to ask him for further assistance.

Of course the price of the air tickets is a key decision factor, however, there are several web sites and smaller companies who can compete on price. But due to the professionalism of the people I have dealt with at Southall Travel and in particular, the great service from Sumesh in the last 3 days, I have to say that I will continue to direct my business via you and also recommend where ever I can.

Well done to your all for investing in the high levels of quality and customer service and you need to mark out Sumesh for an extra large bonus at Christmas! Jokes aside, we continue to have to deal with the very serious issues with our family in India and you have made the efforts a lot easier.

Kind Regards,
Suvash Biswas

Top awards for Jet Airways

In news that may be of interest to those looking for flights to India, Jet Airways has been named as the country's top airline for both economy and business class passengers at a recent awards ceremony.

According to the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation, the carrier was presented with the awards during a "glittering" ceremony in Mumbai by Ambika Soni, India's minister of travel and culture.

In his acceptance speech at the CNBC-Awaaz Travel Awards 2008, Naresh Goyal, chairman of Jet Airways, stated that the airline is committed to excellent service standards.

"Despite our aggressive international expansion, we have continued to focus on the domestic market, with these awards standing testimony to the excellence of our in-flight product and service," he said.

Last month, Jet Airways was presented with awards for its high-quality service and in-flight experience at a ceremony held at London's British Museum. The airline has been serving the UK and Ireland for around two years.

Survey Reveals NZ as a favourite

Survey Reveals NZ as a favourite



Anyone looking for value-for-money holidays could consider booking flights to New Zealand. New Zealand emerged as a front runner after being awarded as the favourite long-haul destination. The award was based upon the voting done by the readers of The Guardian, guardian.co.uk and The Observer.




The country seems to have been able to successfully reclaim its position as a favourite destination amongst British Travellers.



It is to be noted that this win follows a phase of disturbingly low number of visitors from the UK. New Zealand won this award in 2006 but lost to Cambodia (1st), Vietnam (2nd) and Japan (3rd) in 2007.





The win reflected the effort New Zealand's tourism industry had put into providing a world-class experience to international visitors, said the country’s Tourism Minister Damien O'Connor.




Many international visitors do not have to apply for a tourist visa to holiday in New Zealand. British citizens can holiday in the country for up to 6 months on a New Zealand Visitor’s Permit.




Britain is currently New Zealand's second-largest tourist market, with almost 290,000 visitors from the UK travelling to the country in the year to August 2008

UK - India market benefits from symbiotic relationship.

The UK – India sector handled approximately one million travellers up until 2004. However, due to the services agreement between the two countries suitable for both British Airways as well as Air India, the capacity was severely restricted. New carriers such a Jet Airways and Kingfisher have introduced more flights to India allowing for a controlled increase in the available capacity since 2005.



An approximately two-third of the total passenger traffic originating from the UK on-board the flights to India is accredited to two major metropolitan cities of Delhi and Mumbai. Heathrow is readily connected with flights to Mumbai and flights to Delhi with at least daily services of Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, Jet Airways and Air India. Come December and the travellers flying from Heathrow would have non-stop flight to Hyderabad with British Airways, making it the first carrier to do so. The service would be available five times in a week. "Our investment in India is quite robust and it is here to stay," British Airways’ Area Commercial Manager, Amanda Amos, told reporters adding that, "the Indian market is important for us. It is the second largest market outside the US in terms of volume."



The UK Civil Aviation Authority disclosed in a passenger survey of Heathrow in 2006 that an estimated 45% of passengers to / from India were originating in the UK and 55% originated in India. Business traffic accounted for just 27% of total traffic out of which two-third originated in India.

Emirates airline popular in north-east

Emirates Airline has said its service from Newcastle airport to Dubai is proving successful and popular.
The carrier introduced the route a year ago and reported that over 140,000 people have travelled on such flights so far, 20,000 more than the original prediction.
Some 25 per cent of these trips were found to have been undertaken for business purposes.
Vic Sheppard, vice president of Emirates in the UK and Ireland, said: "Given that it has been a challenging time for the entire airline industry, we are delighted to have received such strong support from the north-east travelling public."
Anyone travelling on flights to Dubai for business or pleasure may be interested to hear of the opening of a new resort in the city.
The Lost City of Atlantis, a 1,539-room complex, will open to the public officially on September 24th and the first guests have already splashed out on a luxury suite, including a gold-plated dining area.

excellent service

I wish to express my sincere thanks for the excellent service provided by Southall Travel in connection with my flights to Australia. I shall have no hesitation in recommending your organization to anyone who might require similar services in the future.

Thanking you.Sincerely yours

Luxuries will include an in-flight entertainment system with 36 channels, mood lighting, webchat and email, as well as built-in charging points for laptops and mobile phones.
