Britflights.com Summer Charter Program Collapses

Britflights.com has shut down operations..... For those of you who who have never heard of Britflights.com, it was to be a low cost charter service from Toronto and Vancouver to London UK during the summer months. Flights were to launch in eary July of this year with direct-to-consumer fares starting at $ 792 from Toronto, taxes included and $ 992 from Vancouver and were to compete directly with Transat and Air Canada. The company was actually registered in Alberta where travel consumers are unprotected by provincial regulation so those that booked may not get their money back. When will the consumer learn? There is a corelation between price and dependability in delivering a service. Remember Zoom Airlines, Jetsgo, Globespan and Harmony? Here is another strong reason to book with a travel agent. If you book your travel online you take a risk but with a travel agent they are at least there to protect you especially in Ontario where all agencies and agents are registered with TICO.  And,  at no additional cost to you.
