INTERNET booking is very quickly becoming the established way of making airline reservations with FlyBE, late into the web in terms of marketing just 18 months ago, reporting over 80% of capacity filled by this means. easyJet and Ryanair report even higher figures. There will always be a small market for airport sales desk bookings and for those who do not have access to a computer screen. What FlyBE fails to say in its latest news release is the difference that the Internet has made to the airline”s (and all airlines) financial status. No longer does a carrier operate on a credit basis with revenue tidied up after the flight. It is now strictly cash before you fly. But it works both ways. Passengers need to know that they are not protected and could lose their money if an airline failed. http://www.flybe.com
