Sky Mobile partners with lastminute.com to offer thousands of free return flights to Europe

Sky Mobile today announced an exclusive partnership with lastminute.com, that will offer new and existing customers a free return flight to Europe [https://www.sky.com/shop/mobile], when they purchase a new phone or tablet from Sky Mobile.

There will be hundreds of thousands of free flights to choose from with all Swap plans, taking off from more than 20 airports across the country and heading to 30 of the most popular European holiday destinations, including France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Greece, Croatia, and Malta.

When buying a phone or tablet, customers will receive a voucher for their free flight that can be redeemed online. Customers can also enjoy taking a friend or family member with them, with the option to purchase a second voucher, for the flat fee of £89.

To make it easy to select and book a flight, Sky Mobile and lastminute.com have set-up a Free Flight search engine [skymobile1.lastminute.com]. Customers can check flight availability at any time and book their return ticket until the end of December 2018. With 400 airline partners and most of them allowing customers to book up to 10 months in advance, customers will be able to travel for free until October 2019.

The offer is available across Sky Mobile’s entire range of phones, which includes the latest iPhone 8 and iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy S9, and Sony phones, as well as recently launched tablets such as the Apple iPads and Samsung Galaxy Tab.

The free flight offer is available to any new and existing customers, purchasing a new phone or tablet between 1st June 2018 and 5th July 2018.

When travelling, Sky Mobile customers will be able to use their monthly mobile data, calls, and texts at no extra cost in 36 European destinations. They will also be able to use Sky Mobile’s unique features Roll and Mix to manage their data allowance when abroad.

With Roll, any unused data is automatically rolled over into the customer’s Sky Piggybank every month and is saved for up to three years, to use whenever they need. Ideal for when they’re on holiday in Europe and not connected to their usual home Wi-Fi.

With Mix, customers can choose to change their plan whenever they like – meaning they can add or remove data, or switch between unlimited and PAYU calls and texts. So, for example, they can opt to up their data allowance before a summer holiday, so they don’t run out of data when sightseeing, and switch back to their usual plan the following month when they get home.

Sophia Ahmad, Director of Sky Mobile, comments “Partnering with lastminute.com means we can offer Sky customers something extra special this summer. As well as a free flight with any new phone or tablet, the combination of Roll and Mix means they’ll never be without data when sightseeing, browsing by the pool, or live streaming from the beach.”
