Thai Airways Industry Fares 2018

May 13, 2018 By Jon Leave a Comment

Thai Airways have released their 2018 Industry Fares to a wide range of destinations in Thailand and Asia. Fares start at £404 per person including all taxes, and you can take upto 3 companions! It’s easy to check availability before you travel (longhaul in W Class).

Thailand has a wide range of hotels offering industry discounts as well – we’ll be covering these over the weeks to come.

Needless to say that Thai Airways are a fantastic airlines – offering genuine hospitality from the moment you step on board (this is the voice of experience rather than a PR release!). We strongly recommend you try and book onto their once daily A380 departure – or if it returns to the LHR route – their brand spanking new A350.

Rumours of a launch from Manchester have been spreading for a while, so fingers crossed for this – and of course a few industry fares and FAM trips to promote the routes!

Link: Further Details Thai Airways Industry Fares
Details: Cannot book more than 30 days in advance of travel – use your GDS to check availability (longhaul in W Class)
Book By: 30 NOV 18 – for travel 09 APR 18 – 12 JUL 18 / 13 AUG 18 – 07 DEC 18
Eligibility:  Proof of employment in UK Travel Industry Required at time of booking – not valid for airline staff
Ease Of Use: Straightforward

Gatwick Express Travel Industry Discounts

May 31, 2016 By Anna Leave a Comment

This is fairly straightforward – unless you work at the airport or for a train company you can’t get discounts on the Gatwick Express.

It is the quickest and comfiest way to reach Gatwick from London Victoria, but remember that Southern Railways also goes from London Victoria, and Thameslink from many stations in the City – both for at least a 1/3 saving if you book in advance.

However, if you do want to book Gatwick Express Tickets, the cheapest way is via their own website as they offer online discounts, and occasional special offers.

Cathay Pacific Online Training – Win a Megafam trip!

November 25, 2015 By Anna Leave a Comment

Most airlines are slowing starting to offer user friendly agent sites – many rather bland and lacking real interest, but we do recommend Cathay Pacific’s CXAgents.com Agent Website.

Firstly, they are offering a place on a Mega Fam next May that is ‘open to all UK & Ireland travel agents who complete the Cathay Pacific Airways Online Training Course before 31 January 2016 achieving the required pass rate of 80% or above’.

Secondly, they do have frequent agent offers and competitions.

And thirdly, and of most importance to us – they frequently offer Travel Industry Special Offers (none-currently) that are advertised here first. Most recently they had some amazing Business Class offers to Australia & Asia, but a very short booking period, so we reckon it’s worth signing up quickly.

Last minute Bali – 5* Sofitel Nusa Dua

November 12, 2015 By Anna Leave a Comment

Just a quick offer that has popped up – but excellent value for those of you with last minute holiday time to use up. The beachfront 5* Sofitel Nusa Dua in Bali is offering trade rates of Indonesia Rupiah 1,300,000 a night – which equates to about £65. This is 30%-60% cheaper than what the hotel is offering direct on their website.

If you would like to stay after November, have a look at the Accor Industry Rates Page and see if you can get a deal: http://www.tidiscounts.com/2014/09/accor-hotels/

For flights, we notice www.touchdown.co.uk has an offer with Malaysia Airlines for £399 to Kuala Lumpur – check with them for extensions to Bali, or look at Air Asia for cheap add-ons.

Or have a scour with Skyscanner – they let you search by the entire month with a variety of departure airports – currently showing Bali from £430 on Garuda Indonesia (an excellent airline onboard) from London Gatwick. Tip – Skyscanner can be excellent for searching for cheap long haul flights for your clients too before booking in your GDS – it’s got great ‘flexible’ search tools.

SND

Worth noting that Indonesia has dropped their US$25 visa fee for UK Passport Holders, but do check you have 6 months validity left upon returning to the UK (yes they are very strict on this).

Touchdown Link: www.touchdown.co.uk
Skyscanner Link: www.skyscanner.net
Hotel Details:
To make a reservation, e-mail [email protected] or call +62 361 849 2888 quoting “SPECIAL OFFER for Travel Agent Employees”
Book by: ASAP – for stays in November only
Eligibility: Very strictly Travel Industry only rates – You will be required to present ID with both Sofitel and Touchdown.
Ease of use: Straightforward, as long as you get moving!

Heathrow Express – One way from £6.99!

September 29, 2015 By Anna Leave a Comment

Britain’s most expensive railway has finally realised that with Heathrow Connect, impending Crossrail links to Heathrow that their exorbitant fares will no longer be tolerated. So they have now released a series of advance purchase fares which reduced the possible one way fares from £26.50 (buy on board) to £6.99 (buy 90 days in advance) – which drops to £5.50 each way when bought as a return.

Although you do have to commit to the exact day of departure, if you buy a return ticket you can use the return leg any day within one month of the outbound leg.

So, if you’ve already booked your flight tickets from Heathrow, get your Express tickets booked for not much more than the tediously slow Piccadilly Line tube journey…

NEW ADVANCE PRICES

90 Day Advance Express Saver   Single    6.99        Return 11.90
30 Day Advance Express Saver   Single    10.75     Return 17.50
7 Day Advance Express Saver     Single    16.10    Return 26.25

Also please note children aged under 15 travel free of charge.

But do we get a travel industry discount?

We’ve heard rumours, but checking with Heathrow Express staff at Paddington revealed that only airport employees receive any kind of discount, although if you’ve heard differently – please let us know!

Link: Only available directly online at Heathrow Express
Book By: No expiry date, but this is a ‘promotion’ so it could finish at any point.
Eligibility: Anyone at all!
Ease Of Use: A doddle

We’ve a huge amount we’re planning to add over the coming months over all aspects of Travel Industry Discounts. We’ve plenty of exclusive hotel deals and discounts, a focus on the best car hire options, insurance, how to get your flights on BA for peanuts (and the wonderful world of Avios!) and many other things.

One of the things we’re most often asked concerns airport hotels – so we’ve planned a series looking at all major UK airports – and the discounts they offer. Of course we’ll be looking at the Tour Operators that specialise in Travel Industry deals (like Touchdown) or have a healthy range of offers as a sideline (like Superbreaks and Holiday Extras).

And of course, we’ve a few reviews of hotels that have been particularly agent friendly – a lovely stay at the Hilton Brighton will be coming next week!

However, we’d love to hear from you regarding what you would like to see us feature, or aspects of your holiday you may be struggling to find discounted rates for?

You can leave comments, e-mail us at [email protected] or tweet us at @tidiscounts

Remember that we’re not selling anything, we just collate and share information (yes this is just a sideline from our travel day jobs!) – so your input and shared deals will only help your peers in this wonderful industry of ours!

As ever, thanks for reading.
