Friendly low fare airline, Jet2.com, celebrated its inaugural flight to Newquay by giving passengers an ‘awesome’ check-in experience with surf lessons and lingo from a Yorkshire based surf pro.
The lessons, which were led by surf expert, Duncan Bray (27) from Headingley in Leeds, took place in the check-in hall and were designed to give passengers some basic surf moves to practice whilst on holiday in the UK’s surfing capital, Newquay.
Duncan also gave passengers an introduction to surfing talk with a few commonly used terms to get them through the summer.
The brand new route, which started this week, will depart Wednesday and Sunday until 28th June then Wednesday, Friday and Sunday until 6th September. Flights start at just GMP19.99 one way including taxes.
boss at Jet2.com Philip Meeson,explained “Newquay has always been a favourite UK destination and is now incredibly easy to get to for people in the north, with flights taking just 70 minutes, departing three times weekly during summer.
“The surf lessons and language added plenty of pre-holiday fun for the passengers and we hope they’ll try out their new skills once in Newquay. But if they don’t, there is plenty to do that doesn’t mean getting wet!
