Golfbreaks.com and Monarch have announced a strategic partnership that brings together Europe’s specialist golf travel company with a leading UK independent airline group.
The new alliance will see Monarch become the preferred short and mid-haul partner for the golf travel company, with Golfbreaks.com now the airline’s golf travel partner.
Both companies will promote flight-inclusive golf holiday packages to customers through a range of marketing and promotional activities, including a fantastic launch competition across their social media channels to win a 4-day golf holiday to the Algarve.
With thousands of golfers booking to play golf abroad every year, the new agreement will enable Golfbreaks.com customers to add Monarch flights to their bookings with groups of eight or more enjoying a range of exclusive benefits including:
- No names or passport details required at the time of booking
- Only a £25 deposit per person required to provisionally hold flights
- Complete flexibility managing group names with final confirmation needed just 7 days prior to travel
