It will also be possible for customers to track their orders and see
their order history online at any time, as well as being able to send
wines as personalised gifts to friends, relatives or business
acquaintances.

Simon Lilley, Flybe’s Director of Marketing comments: “This is another
industry first for Flybe. In the same way that we have pioneered and
innovated in other areas, this deal with Wines4business will mark the
UK’s first ever low cost airline Wine Club.  Not only does this venture
offer a further dimension to the Flybe offering and our relationship
with our customers, but will be another ancillary revenue stream to
reinforce our market leading position.

“We continue to invest in a product that meets the needs of the Flybe
profile of customers. These days, wine is a major item in the family
shopping basket as well as being a lifestyle choice - much in the same
way as travel.”

Says Peter Jones, Wines4business: “We hope that Flybe’s customers enjoy
accessing a great range of wines and champagne at excellent prices,
proving that there are in fact some frills and perks associated with
low-cost flying.

“I’m always looking for a good deal, and that’s exactly what
Wines4business will be offering through the Flybe Wine Club.”
