Touchdown holidays for airline staff

Touchdown holidays for airline staff, as mentioned in a previous article, provide exclusively discounted holidays for both serving and retired employees of the travel sector.  The types of holiday available to book are much the same as those you would expect to find with an “open to the public” travel agent, ranging from cruises, to self catered and fully inclusive holidays.

Touchdown offer holidays to in excess of 40 countries worldwide, whether you are just looking to book flights, accommodation or a cruise there are countless options for you to choose from.  In terms of classes of accommodation, you can essentially stay in whichever style you wish, from a self-catered apartment to a fully catered luxury villa in the Caribbean.  The same is true if you are looking to book flights through Touchdown.  The company has teamed up with 20 of the major worldwide airlines in order to offer exclusive discounts to customers, partners include British Airways[i], Virgin Atlantic[ii], Emirates, Qatar Airways, Royal Thai Airlines and Qantas to name a small selection.  The option to upgrade to club/business class at a heavily discounted is available and customers are further eligible to take up to 3 friends with you at the same discounted rate.

I can’t stress enough however that you must check the eligibility page on the Touchdown holidays for airline staff website to make sure that you are eligible for travel with the company.  Countless types of employment in the travel sector are covered but there will inevitably be a few types of job which are excluded from booking.  Further to this, you also need to travel with your current ID card or a recent pay slip from your employer to be able to provide proof to the resort of your eligibility for reduced rates when you arrive.  Failure to do this could leave to you being charged full price to stay at the hotel.
