As a birthday present for all customers, transavia.com is also offering a ‘1p First Birthday Celebration Offer’, where one-way tickets from Glasgow Prestwick to Amsterdam cost just 1p, plus taxes and charges, for travel to the end of June 2007 when booked before midnight on Sunday April 1.

During the first year of operation, transavia.com has flown more than 50,000 customers between Glasgow Prestwick and Amsterdam.

Onno van den Brink, CEO transavia.com, comments “We’re delighted to celebrate our first birthday flying between Scotland and Holland. In our first year, we’ve had great feedback from customers on the reliability of our service, our great low prices and our convenient flight times, so we hope in the next year we can become Glasgow’s favourite, as well as Holland’s number one low cost airline!”
Mark Rodwell, Chief Executive of Glasgow Prestwick Airport, added: “transavia.com provided the airport with our first direct connection to Holland and it has proved popular with passengers travelling in both directions as Amsterdam is a brilliant destination.
“We are delighted to celebrate the route’s first birthday and hope the service will continue to go from strength to strength in the years to come. As transavia.com is currently the only low cost carrier operating on the Glasgow to Amsterdam route and provides a friendly and efficient service, we are confident that will happen.”
Spring is a great time to visit the world famous Keukenhof Gardens, just 30 minutes by train from Amsterdam. Tulips and flowers galore are once again coming into bloom and the gardens will be open until 20 May 2007.
This year’s theme is ‘Linnaeus King of Flowers’ to celebrate the 300th birthday of the Swedish scientist. In keeping with this, the gardens were opened by Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden on the first day of spring and this season’s highlights include a huge, colourful flower-mosaic of Pippi Longstocking. www.keukenhof.nl
