Book flights to a surprise destination: Blind Booking is back
From
now on, travellers seeking adventure, spontaneous trips and short vacations
will get their money's worth with Eurowings: The Lufthansa Group's value
airline recently started offering the popular Blind Booking service again. With
this flight offer, which has been popular in the past, travellers are surprised
by their holiday destination. Customers do not find out where the journey will
take them until after the booking has been completed. Interested parties enter
the key data of their planned trip in the booking process. They can also
exclude destinations in advance, for example if they have already travelled
there. In principle, however, the more flexible the booking is, the cheaper the
flight will be.
With
the newly launched Blind Booking offer, Eurowings is expanding its product
portfolio for a target group that is open to new things and likes to engage in
unfamiliar (travel) experiences. Flights to the random destinations are offered
in the BASIC fare from Germany, Austria, Sweden, and the Czech Republic and are
available from as little as 44 euros (one-way).
Selection
from seasonal theme categories
Travellers
can choose from various categories and thus narrow down the surprise
destination thematically. Depending on the season, different headings are
available, a first selection includes the following:
·
Europe Lies at your Feet
·
Around the Corner
·
Happiness is Coming to Shore
·
Into the Wild
·
Shop till you drop
·
Work hard, play hard
·
Pizza, Pasta & Amore
·
Greek Feast
·
Go East!
·
Nordic Explorer
·
Selfie Hotspots
·
No Rain in Spain
·
An Island in the Sun
·
Concrete Jungles
·
Christmas Markets
·
Be a Snowbird
This
is how the booking works
Flights
via Blind Booking can be booked from one day to 42 days before departure
via https://blindbooking.eurowings.com.
After selecting the departure airport and the theme category, Eurowings
customers are shown possible destinations, which – if desired – can also be
deselected. In the next steps, the travel dates, including all details of the
stay, can be entered. The minimum stay is 18 hours for one night, and 36 hours
for two nights. In the next step, the interested passenger receives the final
price. After payment, the surprise destination is displayed so that passengers
have enough time to prepare for the trip. The booked flights cannot be rebooked
or cancelled. Additional services such as additional checked baggage can still
be booked afterwards.
