Flybe running face to face business competition

Low-cost carrier Flybe is to give 40 of its premiercards to travellers who share stories supporting the fact that business is better face to face.

The cards, which give access to the airline's executive lounges for a year, will be awarded for 20 positive experiences and 20 business disasters submitted before Friday (October 2nd).

Business passengers travelling from Birmingham, Cardiff, Exeter, Manchester and Belfast airports could benefit from the campaign.

Flybe director of marketing Simon Lilley said: "We want to hear about people's funniest or most disastrous conference call and most successful face to face meetings in return for the opportunity to travel in style with access to Flybe's business lounges."

The competition is part of the airline's Business is Better Face to Face campaign, which encourages business workers to travel to meet colleagues and associates.

Flybe carries more UK passengers than any other domestic airline and operates five times as many routes from Gatwick Airport than any other.

The airline recently announced its summer 2010 scheduled flights, with one-way fares available from £22.99.
