LONDON, June 25 /PRNewswire/ --
- Air Valid Recommends That Travellers Book Their Flights Through Travel
Agencies Within Their Home Country Before Going on Holidays
After publishing the new roster of blacklisted airlines (
http://www.air-valid.co.uk/airlines-blacklisted.html) by Europa on 8th April
2009, Air Valid is again forewarning travellers of the limitations of the
blacklist when travelling abroad or reserving a plane ticket on the internet.
For this reason, Air Valid is warning all Europeans heading
abroad:
"Don't forget that this blacklist cites the airlines that the
travel agencies cannot refer you to when you book travel from Europe.
However, if you are living in a foreign country temporarily, or if you are
booking directly through one of the airlines' sites that offers online
reservation, you will not be informed that the airline is on the blacklist."
The information is relayed from http://www.expat-blog.com to
their 10,000 expatriate members, of whom 5,000 have been bloggers since
January 2009.
Air Valid specialises in distributing information and
certified opinions about airlines by informing travellers through the site
and also via travel agency partners online, such as Go Voyages, Ebookers,
Carrefour Voyages and Soleil d'Ailleurs. Air Valid is present in nearly 45%
of all online flight ticket searches in France. Company profiles of the
airlines are available for reference on the site www.air-valid.co.uk and are
provided to travel agencies in order to inform web users when booking travel.
