Flight fares are as cheap as crisps in a new deal which will see 100 Britons jet to three locations for the price of a family-sized bag of snacks. The offer sees 50 flights to Bologna, and 25 each to Bangkok and New Orleans, available in three separate events throughout the summer. For just £1.99 – the price of a bag of Walkers Sensations – Britons can jet off to the exciting destinations in what would be the cheapest flights in the world. The routes would be 99 per cent cheaper than the commercial value, with travellers to Bangkok in Thailand saving the most, at £648.01.
Those lucky enough bag a trip to New Orleans, in the USA, could do so with a saving of £598.01.
Meanwhile, travellers set for pasta and Italian sunshine in Bologna, could enjoy a not-to-be-sniffed-at £218.01 off their holiday deal.
All they have to do is log onto the Walkers sensation website between 7pm and 8pm on the selected date, and register their details for the sale.
Alison Kirk, brand manager at Walkers Sensations said: “At Sensations our snacks are inspired by flavours and recipes we’ve discovered from around the world.
“Nearly half of the people questioned said that they want to travel to try new and exciting food, so the launch of Sensations Global.
“Travel aims to help people experience the sights, sounds, tastes and smells of the delicious destinations Sensations are inspired by.
“For those who manage to get their hands on one of the 100 flights, we hope that by reducing the price down to the cost of a packet of crisps, we’re able to unlock an exciting feast for the senses, giving them a chance to explore new and far-flung places”.
To be in with a chance of getting one of the 100 select flights, people must visit the Sensations Global Travel website between 7pm and 8pm on June 27 for Bologna, July 4 for Bangkok and July 11 for New Orleans.
