Cheapflights.co.uk re-launches travel guides

Cheapflights.co.uk, the UK’s leading flight price comparison website, today announces it has re-launched its Travel Guides section. This new editorial is designed to appeal to travellers of all ages and is in line with the Company’s strategy to position itself as the ultimate consumer resource.

Nadine Hallak, Travel Expert for Cheapflights.co.uk, says, “The section is an inspiration to even the most resistant traveller. The wealth of information it provides combined with breathtaking imagery and useful links to special events calendars, currency converters, FCO travel advice and warnings, maps and library of recommended reading act as a comprehensive holiday planning service.”

“We have recognised that consumers are increasingly relying on the internet for essential holiday information and our new guides embrace this trend. Online guides are far more environmentally friendly than the traditional guide book and can also be updated on a daily basis.”

The section is broken down by continent comprising travel guides to more than 400 destinations all written by in-house experts and spanning the globe from the icebergs of Alaska and the Andes of Argentina to the remote shores of the Seychelles and much more.

Each guide contains up to 14 sub-sections including information on:

• Airports / Climate / When to fly
• Getting Around / Insider Information
• Passport / Visa / Other entry requirements
• Language / Money / Tipping
• Health / Safety / Electricity

The range of topics covers everything a traveller will need to know from which vaccines are required prior to travel to GSM coverage for mobile phones and the type of electricity currents and plugs available just in case you’re planning to pack your laptop, hairdryer or any other electrical variant.

Safety tips include everything from coverage of essential political information as well as crime rates for each destination, while health tips cover everything from recommended vaccines to insect repellent and medical insurance.

“If you’re visiting somewhere like the Seychelles for example, health advice is essential because although no vaccines are required for entry, immunisation against Typhoid and Hepatitis A are highly recommended,” comments Hallak.

And to beguile the traveller even further, the section also offers a virtual library with recommendations on in-flight reading not only of travel guides, but also of specialist books and novels relating to each and every destination.

So start your next journey today and visit the Cheapflights.co.uk Travel Guides section for ideas on where to go and what to see.
