Explore unforgettable adventure holidays with Flitch Travel

A welcome change for UK travellers 17 March 2026 Great news for anyone planning a Thailand holiday - direct flights from London to Phuket are now available all year round. For years, travelling to Phuket has meant a stopover. Typically through the Middle East or via Bangkok, often adding hours onto the journey and, at times, a bit of uncertainty depending on connections. That’s now changed. This new direct route makes getting to one of Thailand’s most loved destinations simpler, quicker and far more appealing - especially in the current climate, where many travellers are understandably looking to minimise connections and keep journeys as straightforward as possible. Why this matters Phuket has always been an easy sell once clients arrive - beautiful beaches, warm hospitality, fantastic hotels and that balance of relaxation and activity that suits couples, families and honeymooners alike. The challenge has often been the journey. Removing the stopover does a few important things: Cuts down overall travel time Removes the need for tight or stressful connections Reduces the risk of disruption en route Makes the destination feel far more accessible In short, it turns Phuket into a much more “bookable” option for a wider range of clients. Perfect timing for Thailand Thailand continues to be one of the most requested long-haul destinations, and Phuket in particular offers something for everyone - from laid-back beachfront stays to luxury resorts and island-hopping experiences. Having a direct flight option strengthens that appeal even further. It’s now a far more straightforward decision for anyone weighing up destinations for winter sun, a special trip, or a honeymoon. What this means for our clients We’ve already started putting together a selection of Phuket offers taking advantage of these new direct routes, with a range of hotels and travel dates to suit different budgets. For clients who may previously have been put off by the journey, this really does open the door again. And for those already considering Thailand, it just made the decision a whole lot easier. Thinking about Phuket? If Phuket has been on your list for a while, now is a great time to revisit it. The destination hasn’t changed - it’s still everything people love about Thailand - but the journey just got significantly better. As always, we’re here to help tailor the right trip, whether that’s a simple beach escape or something a little more bespoke.

Julia Manager, Dunmow A little about me This job is absolutely amazing, especially as it indulges my passion for road trips! I just adore being part of making people’s dreams come true, helping them reach their bucket list goals, and hearing about those magical moments when families unite. It’s truly unbeatable! My trip last year to India has given me some amazing insights into the country but I think my specialist area is road trips! I’ve planned many from all over the USA, Canada, Italy to Scotland and Ireland. I love putting them together and clients seem to enjoy exploring, and it’s a really budget friendly way to see a country. Most memorable holiday? My honeymoon in Toronto, Canada has to be my most memorable holiday, the stunning scenery, Niagara Falls, the CN Tower, a very special place for a very special occasion. Where next? My next trip is to Brazil, Argentina and the Iguazú Falls, where we get to see the Falls from both sides which will be incredibly special. The trip ends with a couple of days in Rio, and we are so excited about seeing the sights, sounds and culinary delights of this fantastic city. Top travel tip? If you’re flying with Virgin, be sure to put in a bid for an upgrade on their website. I once got two business class seats to India for £800 in total!

Caribbean = paradise Perfect for weddings & honeymoons. Caribbean From delicious cuisine to astonishing natural landscapes; from hiking and sailing to snorkelling and diving - there’s a lot to see and do in the Caribbean. Most popular destinations include Antigua, the Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, St Lucia, Grenada, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and the Turks and Caicos islands. Boasting almost year-round sunshine, the Caribbean is also an unbeatable location for your wedding or honeymoon and the perfect way to start your life together! REQUEST A CALLBACK Share this article with friends & family: Facebook WhatsApp Copy link With so many Caribbean islands to choose from, there’s something to offer every discerning traveler. Every Caribbean island is unique, with a variety of landscapes, cuisine, nightlife, vacation activities, languages and events. Island locals are famously hospitable and the smiling service is as much a Caribbean icon as the romantic beach sunsets. The Caribbean islands boast many in-house hotel spa treatments and luxury spa resorts, which combined with the weather, beaches and easy-going lifestyle make this part of the world ideal to take some time out. St. Lucia in particular is a serene island that’s perfect for a relaxing getaway. BARBADOS HOLIDAYS Home to the Platinum coast which is called ‘home’ by many A-list celebrities, there is more to this island than white sands and turquoise seas. It’s where deep caverns and monkey-populated forests abound against the setting of rocky cliffs and, as an independent nation within the British Commonwealth, English traditions like high-tea and cricket reign supreme. Must do: join the locals every Friday night to eat, drink, dance and party the night away at Oistins Friday Fish Fry. ST LUCIA HOLIDAYS The iconic Pitons paint a dramatic backdrop to St Lucia’s forested mountains and pretty bays, inviting you in to experience the island’s natural beauty. Often touted as one of the world’s most romantic destinations, St Lucia has long been a favourite with couples and honeymooners and there is nothing quite so blissful as walking hand in hand on the beach in St Lucia! Must do: take a helicopter to your hotel, soar over tiny villages and experience a thrilling view of this lush, mountainous island. ANTIGUA HOLIDAYS Antigua is laid back and ideal for relaxation or exploration. Its crystal clear waters teem with marine life and coral encrusted shipwrecks, providing excellent conditions for shallow diving and snorkelling. Must do: visit Shirley Heights, a romantic spot to watch the sun sets over the harbour. On Sundays it becomes a popular party spot, the beat getting louder as you sip traditional rum punch and feast on a barbeque accompanied by the rhythm of a steel band.

In just a 7 hours’ flight time you can be in a city with an iconic skyline, overlooking one of America’s Great Lakes and with the friendliest of locals. Soar up the CN Tower before hitting the restaurants of the historic Distillery District then visit the mighty Niagra Falls. You can visit the Falls on a day trip from Toronto, or spend a night or two in Niagara itself, there is plenty to keep you busy after dark! CANADA RAIL JOURNEYS The west of Canada lends itself perfectly to rail travel and the region is home to some of the most spectacular rail routes on earth, including the famous ‘Rocky Mountaineer’. There are four routes that can easily be added to any Canada itinerary: Vancouver to Jasper via Kamloops, Vancouver to Lake Louise or Banff via Kamloops, Vancouver to Jasper via Whistler and Quensel, or the fabulous Coastal Passage operating between Seattle and Vancouver, connecting the USA and the Canadian Rockies. BRITISH COLUMBIA Lovingly referred to by its initials BC, British Columbia is Canada’s western-most province and the one where the great outdoors is always calling. It’s clear to see why this region is a favourite with nature lovers! Between dramatic coast and Pacific islands in the west to soaring peaks of the Rocky Mountains at its eastern edge, there are mountains, valleys, wildlife-abundant forests and vast empty spaces and many adventures and activities including skiing, hiking, watersports and mountain biking.

Irresistible India An enchanting land of mystery. India & Central Asia India is bursting with exciting sounds, irresistible flavours, intoxicating aromas and intense colours. It is vibrant and timeless, a place where the wonders of the past sit side by side with modern life. This is an enchanting land with compelling secrets and natural landscapes that range from the snowy Himalayas in the north to sunny, sandy beaches in the South. Highlights include Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Amritsar, Shimla, Varinasi, Ranthambore National Park and Goa. REQUEST A CALLBACK Share this article with friends & family: Facebook WhatsApp Copy link India’s Golden Triangle tour is highly recommended for first-time visitors, combining colonial history with Hindu spiritualism. Goa is a destination in its own right but also the perfect place to relax after touring the incredible sights elsewhere in the continent. We highly recommend experiencing India’s spiritual side on the banks of the River Ganges in Varanasi or the city of temples Madurai. Wildlife lovers will also want to seek out Asian elephants, Bengal tigers and many more species in India’s fabulous National parks. INDIA’S GOLDEN TRIANGLE One of the world’s most well-travelled routes encompassing the cities of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra, home to the magnificent Taj Mahal - visit at sunrise or sunset for the most spectacular views! Travel through Rajastan’s desert landscape on route to the heritage hotels of colourful Jaipur. Rajasthan is also home to India’s most famous wildlife park, Ranthambore - a visit is highly recommended. Railways are a great way to travel here. Move between cities in comfort and in style for those choosing a luxury train option. VARANASI AND THE GANGES More than a million annual pilgrims visit Hinduism’s holiest city to bathe in the sacred Ganges River, whose waters are believed to wash away sin. Banares Hindu University is one of Varanasi’s most famous landmarks and home to the Bharat Kala Museum’s fantastic collection of art, sculptures, miniature paintings and Mughal artifacts. Enjoy a boat ride along the Ganges and watch worshippers submerge themselves. Don’t miss a trip to the night time Pooja Ceremony where fire is offered to the Hindu God Shiva. CENTRAL ASIA HOLIDAYS Central Asia, often referred to as "the Stans," offers a unique blend of cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and adventurous opportunities for a memorable holiday. It's a region encompassing countries like Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, each with distinct characteristics and attractions. The best time to visit is typically during the shoulder seasons, April-May and September-October, when the weather is pleasant and the landscapes are vibrant. START PLANNING YOUR NEXT HOLIDAY...

Roll on October....I'll be back! Caroline Smith I will always tell anyone 1000% to use Flitch Travel with complete peace of mind. Thanks again Tina for amazing customer service. Gem Leigh Amelia was incredibly helpful and guided us through the booking process. Nothing was too much trouble, and upon completing our booking, we received a box of chocolates that was greatly appreciated. Abi Jenkins I’ve visited Flitch Travel a few times, and Amelia has been exceptionally kind and helpful. I will definitely be using Flitch Travel for all my flights.

Janet Jaggs Extremely helpful, sourced the exact holiday I wanted. Made the process easy... Tracy Williams Flitch travel booked our honeymoon 3 years ago which was amazing and no other holiday lived up to it... until now. Shandrani beachcomber hotel, Mauritius was incredible.

Claire Katie Eastaugh Very friendly and understanding. We had a detailed set of requirements which Flitch managed in a way that made us feel that an individual plan was being made. Sharon A big thank you to Rebecca of Flitch Travel, I went in not really knowing where to go for my family holiday, I gave her my requirements, she ran through the pro’s and con’s of various options and I opted for Turkey. Now returned from an amazing time my family and I had at the Resort we chose, I look forward to dealing with her again for my next holiday experience.

We need to talk… about jet fuel. 7 May 2026 Jet fuel shortages aren’t what the headlines suggest. Here’s what’s really happening - and why your holiday is still safe. I can only liken the situation to when we were told we were going to run out of toilet roll during Covid. We all went bonkers buying toilet roll, stacked cupboards full of it, and supermarket shelves were emptied. We never ran out of toilet roll - there was no shortage. It happened again when the Ukraine war started. We were told we were going to run out of petrol, so everyone rushed to fill their cars to the brim and queued along the high street at the nearest petrol station. We never ran out of petrol - there was no shortage. The UK is not running out of jet fuel - there is no shortage. The UK sources jet fuel from a range of places; it does not come from one single source, and fuel purchasing is not managed on a week-by-week basis. Jet fuel is typically secured months in advance, with prices agreed ahead of time. Yes, there have been some disruptions, but on the grand scale of the aviation industry they are minimal. In reality, most travellers would not even notice that any operational changes have been made. Older aircraft with four engines naturally use more fuel to fly, so some airlines have temporarily reduced services using older aircraft and moved passengers onto newer, more efficient two-engine aircraft instead. It reduces fuel consumption, lowers costs and cuts pollution - it’s a no-brainer. For example, Air Canada operates 38 flights a day to New York. They have cancelled four flights a day until August, with those services returning in October. The remaining 34 flights continue to operate daily as normal. Air France has increased the cost of a long-haul ticket by around £21 per person. American Airlines and Delta have increased hold luggage charges by approximately £7.80. These changes are incredibly small and do not affect your hard-earned, well-deserved summer holiday plans. Our favourite UK operators, including Jet2, EasyJet and TUI, have all confirmed they will not increase the cost of your holiday after booking - that is guaranteed. Holidays are continuing exactly as normal. Flights are taking off, people are travelling, and clients are returning home safely having enjoyed fantastic holidays. The sun is shining, the bar is open and the beaches are waiting for you. What we have seen is a shift in holiday habits due to unrest in the Middle East and UK Government advice surrounding travel to the UAE. With Stansted Airport so close to us, Emirates flights to Dubai have become hugely popular over recent years - not just for Dubai holidays themselves, but as a hub for destinations such as Australia, Thailand, Bali and the Indian Ocean. Understandably, some clients are now choosing to fly directly to their onward destination rather than route through Dubai. Others are still travelling via Dubai as planned, with flights operating normally and service remaining as good as ever. Our clients have travelled and returned without issue. Personally, I do expect prices to rise ever so slightly towards the end of this year and into 2027 as airlines slowly claw back increased fuel costs. In reality, though, you probably won’t notice much difference as travel prices naturally rise year on year anyway. The smartest thing you can do right now is simply book early. Summer 2027 is already on sale, deposits remain very low, and many holidays can still be secured from as little as £60 per person. Once booked, your price is locked in with no surprise additional costs later on. The same applies for this year’s holidays too - book now while prices remain lower, free child places are still available, seats together on the aircraft can still be secured, and those best sea-view rooms are still there waiting. I do expect demand to increase quickly once tensions in the Middle East settle, and when that happens prices and availability are likely to shift very fast. While holidays are continuing as planned, it is also reassuring to remember that, in the extremely unlikely event a flight is cancelled for any reason, there are strong protections in place for UK travellers. That means you will not lose the money paid for your flights and, if travelling on a package holiday, those protections extend to the full holiday package too. I hope this has helped put a little perspective on the situation. And if you are currently toying with the idea of booking a holiday, just think back to how many toilet rolls you bought… Don’t let headlines make the decision for you. I regard my whole team at Flitch Travel as experts. We never have, and never will, let our clients down.
