Golfbreaks.com announces strategic partnership with Monarch Airlines

Golfbreaks.com and Monarch Airlines have announced a strategic partnership that will see the leading UK independent airline group become the preferred short and mid-haul partner for Europe's specalist golf travel company.

With thousands of golfers booking to play golf abroad every year, the new agreement will enable Golfbreaks.com customers to add Monarch flights to their bookings with groups of eight or more enjoying a range of exclusive benefits including:

• No names or passport details required at the time of booking
• Only a £25 deposit per person required to provisionally hold flights
• Complete flexibility managing group names with final confirmation needed just 7 days prior to travel

Keith Mitchell, Marketing Director of Golfbreaks.com commented: “We are delighted to announce the partnership with Monarch and look forward to many more years of success working with them. Over the past 17 years they have safely flown thousands of Golfbreaks.com customers to and from their golfing holidays and this partnership will enable us to be the complete one-stop shop for golfers, booking golf, accommodation and flights to their favourite destinations across Europe.”
