Bratislava, 17th September – SkyEurope Airlines, recently voted Eastern Europe’s most popular low-cost carrier by Skytrax, is proud to announce the introduction of two business-friendly products - SkySaver, a new loyalty program that allows savings of up to 20 per cent off SkyEurope airfares, and a new flexible fare product, Flexi-fare, allowing unlimited free changes to be made to a booking.
Flexi-fare is SkyEurope’s exciting new product for business travellers and guests who want flexibility in their travel plans to change flights or even passenger names free of charge. Change of name is possible up to 2 hours prior to departure. Flexi-Fares also allow changes to flights that have even departed, with flight times and dates changable up to 24 hours after the scheduled departure time! Changes to bookings can be made on www.skyeurope.com prior to departure, whilst changes to bookings where the flight has already departed must be made via SkyEurope’s call centre.
SkyEurope is also proud to introduce a new bonus program called SkySaver which is an ideal solution for both retail customers and corporate clients. Based on pre-paid credit, customers can purchase tickets for discounted prices with bonuses and savings on transaction fees. SkySaver is available in three versions, SkyBasic, SkyMedium and SkyPremium and also offers an immediate bonus of 10% to 20% depending on the credit amount purchased; all with no credit card and transaction fees. Anyone can join by sending a registration request via e-mail to salessupport@skyeurope.com.
Alongside these new business-friendly products, SkyEurope has launched a redesigned website with a user-friendly booking engine. The new website offers the functionality of an advanced travel portal including for example, the ability to purchase hotel hire within the booking process itself, in only a few easy steps.
„We’ve listened to guest feedback and recognised that we needed to provide an enhanced suite of products for our business guests“ says Steven Greenway, Chief Commercial Officer of SkyEurope and adds „the launch of Flexi-Fares and the SkySaver products are only the start of a range of new business firendly solutions that will be launched over the coming months. We will be trialing priority check-in and will also continue to enhance our Flexi-Fare offering.“
