'Open-skies' Agreement Embraced by Cost-Conscious Consumers as U.S. Holiday and Flight Sales Increase by 25 Per Cent

(PRWEB) July 4, 2007 -- 'Open-skies' agreement embraced by cost-conscious consumers as U.S. sales increase by 25 per cent.

UK holidaymakers are maximising the 'open skies' agreement to its full extent according to the leading price comparison website http://www.dealchecker.co.uk Under the new agreement, Washington now treats all 27 European Union (EU) nations as one entity, meaning that any EU airline can fly from any point in the EU to any destination in the United States. U.S. enquiries on the dealchecker website have increased by 25 per cent for May/June 2007 compared to the same time last year, concurrent with the new route developments from the 'open-skies agreement.'

Open-skies has encouraged the airline industy to become more competitive on US routes and cost savings are being passed directly to the consumer. This June saw the inaugral flight for Zoom Airlines, which reported to have sold 10,000 advance bookings on flights between London Gatwick and New York, JFK. Savings available with Zoom range from 41 to 71 per cent on the fares being offered by its competitor airlines Virgn Atlantic, British Airways, American Airlines and the other US carriers. Tickets for daily flights start at £129 one-way including taxes.

Managing Director for dealchecker, Alex Saint said "Open skies is a breakthrough for UK Travellers, making the US accessible, affordable and more viable as a short break destination. New York is currently the destination of choice as this route is well serviced by budget and first class only operators, we expect this to fluctuate as new routes develop and other airlines take advantage of the agreement."

The benefits are not restricted to budget travel as the new first class operators have embraced open-skies too. Last week EOS airlines increased the frequency on their Stanstead-New York flight from 32 flights per week to 40 flights a week.

Flights to New York start from £283 per person for a direct return flight inclusive of taxes when booked through http://www.dealchecker.co.uk
