Zoom adds flights from Belfast to Halifax
Zoom Airlines is to expand services from Belfast to Canada with a direct service to Halifax.
From May to October 2007, the flight will depart weekly on a Saturday.
Fares start from £99 one-way plus taxes.
Flights are currently on offer all year round to Toronto and throughout the summer to Vancouver with a plan to expand the Vancouver route into a year-round service starting this winter.
Debbie Marshall, UK Director of Zoom Airlines said: “Our plan to expand the Vancouver route throughout winter will appeal to independent skiers who will be able to experience the Rockies at prices similar to a typical European flight.”
A full scheduled service is provided onboard including in-flight entertainment, meal and free soft drinks for the duration of the flight.
A 20kg baggage allowance is on offer on all flights with no additional carriage charge for ski or sporting equipment.
Premium class seats are also available on all Zoom flights from an additional £79 each way, offering additional legroom, superior in-flight meals, and complimentary drinks throughout the flight plus check-in and luggage benefits.
At present Zoom operates from Paris and five UK hubs – Glasgow, Gatwick, Manchester, Belfast, Cardiff – to eight Canadian destinations including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax, Ottawa, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Montreal.
