I've just received a Thomson themed marketing email from the airport and there is finally something about their new routes to Phuket and Goa. Unless I have missed it this is the first time that they have been promoted?
It's a start but much more is needed!
The message
If you’re thinking of heading south next winter, in search of faraway shores, read on.
From Goa’s 66-mile-long coast to Phuket’s colourful tuk tuks, you can jet off to a range of long-haul destinations form Birmingham Airport.
If it’s sunshine and sandy shores you’re after, check out Barbados’ award-winning Crane Beach – the perfect setting for a day of snoozing under palm trees. Alternatively, opt for a beach break in Jamaica or the Dominican Republic. On these Caribbean islands, turquoise waves crash to the relaxed vibes of reggae beats.
While we’ve got a lot of love for beaches, we know that there’s more to a holiday – we’re talking about getting out and exploring. Delve into one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Chichen Itza, in Mexico. Or, if you’re holidaying in Goa, take a trip to see the iconic Taj Mahal.
If adrenaline thrills are more your thing, Florida’s giant theme parks won’t disappoint.
You’ll fly to most of these places on Thomson's state-of-the-art 787 Dreamliner, too. This next-generation jet has bigger windows, mood lighting and a lower cabin pressure, so you’ll feel more refreshed when you land.
