air travel

with a first class service

Colpitts World Travel employs an experienced team of reservations consultants who can supply tickets for all forms of air travel to meet your requirements. While always working within your travel policy, our staff will ensure you are offered the best flight connections and airfares available from both scheduled airlines and low cost carriers.

Colpitts will also analyse your travel patterns with a view to negotiating airline discounts. Even if you only have a small volume of bookings with a particular carrier, we can help you take advantage of the money-saving programmes offered by British Airways, bmi, United Airlines, Continental, American, SAS, Lufthansa and many more.

We also have access to consolidator bulk buy fares, bought through specialist agencies. Consolidator fares are restricted in that, once booked, they cannot be changed without penalty. However, these fares offer up to 60% in cost savings compared to the airline published fares

private jet charter

Chartering a private aircraft gives you the scope to fully customise your itinerary and avoid the inflexibility of scheduled flights. Many of our clients find this a cost-effective method of visiting multiple destinations in a short period of time. Time normally spent waiting in airport departure lounges can now be used effectively at your destination or in the comfort of your aircraft, where you are free to work in private or discuss business with your colleagues and clients.

Colpitts will work with you to ensure your air charter is affordable, convenient and helps you make the most effective use of your travelling time.
