Todays blog was going to be advising you about Flybe’s special offer but it has turned into a ‘how to get £40 of free wine‘ blog.

Firstly I will start with the Flybe offer. They have today released 7 million seats that are discounted. These seats are priced from £21.99 one-way including taxes.

I understood that as part of the offer you were to also receive a £40 voucher to use towards a case of wine from Virgin wines if you book your flight before July 23rd.

But it seems that if you visit flybe.com and click on their advert promoting this offer that it takes you straight through to Virgin Wines. Virgin Wines then credit you with the £40 voucher and you don’t even have to buy the flight!

This voucher can only be used against a case of 12 bottles with a minimum basket value of £79.99 (ex p&p) and it needs to be used by November 2009.

So if you go ahead you can actually get 12 bottles of wine for about £3.50 per bottle.

Seems a good deal to me, I am on my way to order my 12 bottles of wine right now

The information for Virgin Wines voucher is as follows
