This post is reviewed on a regular basis to ensure a high level of accuracy.
If you’ve joined successfully, you should have received your Welcome Deal by now (or deals, if you selected multiple departure regions), which will be sent to you within about 5 minutes after confirming your email address and departure airports.
Please do check your junk or other secondary folders if it doesn’t land in your inbox!
Going forward, you’ll receive a fresh deal every week or so from your favourite airports.
The more airports you’ve selected, the more deals you’ll receive.
For example, if you’re happy to receive deals from both the Midlands and the North West – you’ll get twice as many deals.
You can update your airport preferences at any time using the link at the footer of our email alerts.
This is something we might introduce in the near future, but for the time being we only send out deals via email as and when we find them.
These deals are often very time sensitive and we have a lot of regions and preferences to account for, so it wouldn’t be feasible for us to be constantly checking and updating them at the moment.
You might have noticed that we have two levels of membership.
The free membership is more basic, but still provides a very valuable service which focusses purely on short-haul, long weekend deals departing from your favourite airports.
The Premium membership unlocks even more deals from your favourite airports.
Premium includes all the long weekend deals, as well as the longer getaways (typically 7 nights), and the quieter midweek breaks.
You can opt in for whichever combination works for you.
So you’ll be a lot more likely to take advantage of the deals that work for you, and you’ll be a lot more likely to bag some great savings, but it’s completely optional.
We feature destinations all over Europe, depending on what’s cheap / fantastic value.
For free members, this includes short-haul getaways only – destinations that tend to be under a 3.5 hour flight away max.
For Premium members, you’ll get all the short-haul deals as well as the medium-haul deals, unlocking even more destinations such as Greece and the Canary Islands, etc.
Please don’t hesitate to reply to any email we send you if you need any further information, or of course you can email us directly right now using one of the following two email addresses, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible:
I joined your club over 2 hours ago but still have not had an email
Hi Sharron thanks for letting us know I’ll email you now to get this sorted. Thanks
When will you be instigating a log in feature for Premium so we can look at all the deals on offer?
Hi Stuart, as soon as we can. The problem at the moment is that the deals are very specific and time sensitive, so it wouldn’t be feasible for us to be constantly checking them at the moment. But we definitely hope to be able to facilitate this soon!
Hi Henry,
Can you advise whether your breaks are suitable for solo travellers. I’d prefer to be sure before paying the membership fee.
Thanks in advance,
Julie
Hi Julie, yes it is suitable for solo travellers! Henry
Hi. Really excited. Just joined the free option. I’m sure I’ll subscribe to premium within a few weeks once I get the hang of the site. Xx
Great stuff thank for you joining Mags!
Hi Henry ,
Have signed up to the free membership for now. We will I’m sure pay the subscription membership after trying one of the weekend deals.
Sounds good ,
Thank you
Pauline & Steve
I haven’t received any emails from you, I joined yesterday. Ca I look at other deals on offer?
Hi, I’ll email you now to get this resolved. Thanks
Looking forward to trying this out
Thanks for giving it a go Michelle!
Hello Henry
I’ve just joined your Free membership but I know once I start getting a few deals coming through I’ll be upgrading!!
Looking forward to seeing & booking my first holiday coming through 🙂
Hello Sheila,
Many thanks for joining, hope you enjoy the deals!
Hi
I am near Exeter airport and travel from there frequently, but I notice it is not included in SW airports.
Exeter airport serves a large population and is as, if not more important as Bristol, any chance you could include it, please ?
Dave
Hi Dave, it’s just lacking a good number of routes which means that deals are hard to come by, but hopefully that changes some time soon!
I would love a week long getaway from Dublin airport to somewhere nice and sunny and that would be reasonably priced
Hi Aodean, no worries feel free to sign up to the Premium membership to unlock the longer getaways from your favourite airports. Many thanks
I have recently joined as a free member, but my wife and I need to return flights to Verona next May (particular dates for a family member’s wedding). I upgraded to a Premier membership to obtain additional flight information. Can you explain how this works and how likely we can book specific dates to/from Verona? We were considering doing the whole trip by train, dropping into a friend in Zurich on the way to the north part of La Garda Lake – Do you have information on how to organise the whole trip at an advantageous cost?!
