FINNAIR AND QATAR AIRWAYS ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP
Finnair and oneworld partner Qatar Airways have concluded an agreement to establish a long-term strategic cooperation between Helsinki, Stockholm and Copenhagen and Doha, with a view of opening more services between another European destination and Doha.
These services will be supported by a comprehensive codeshare agreement with shared passenger and cargo capacity between both airlines.
Customers from the three Nordic cities will benefit from seamless connections via Doha to Qatar Airways’ extensive network of around 100 destinations across Australasia, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. The collaboration will also open new destinations and connection opportunities across Finnair’s Nordic network for Qatar Airways’ customers.
CELEBRITY CRUISES LAUNCH NEW AGENT REWARDS SCHEME
Celebrity Cruises has launched a brand new ‘Celebrity Rewards Auctions’ scheme, giving agents the chance to put their reward points towards a range of prizes, including personal holidays.
Giving agents the opportunity to maximise the value of their Celebrity Rewards, they can also win a stateroom on a number of Celebrity Cruises’ ships, with auction reserve prices starting from £335 for a twin-share Balcony stateroom.
Agents can also redeem Celebrity Rewards points on special gifts for their clients’ staterooms with bottles of champagne or celebration cakes.
The cruise line also recently announced the reintroduction of ‘Earn On Every Booking’, following agent feedback during workshops held across the
UK and Ireland. Until 21st September, agents can
earn Celebrity Rewards on all bookings, from Inside staterooms to Suites. When making and registering
a booking through Celebrity Central, agents will earn £20 when booking the Retreat or Galapagos; £10 for a Balcony, Concierge, or AquaClass stateroom; and £5 for an Inside or Oceanview stateroom.
