Sandals Resorts Covers Airfare for Companion Guest With "Companion Flies Free" Promotion

MIAMI, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Travelers concerned with rising gas prices and increased airline costs can breathe a sigh of relief as Sandals Resorts announces a limited-time "Companion Flies Free" promotion, covering the base fare of a companion air ticket.  To qualify, guests must book an air-inclusive, six-night minimum stay at Sandals Resorts or Beaches Resorts between June 30, 2011 and July 31, 2011.

"There are rising costs associated with nearly every aspect of flying today," said Kevin Froemming, President of Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts. "Our guests save hard-earned money for their vacation, and we don't believe they should have to give that up because of fluctuating gas prices. Through Sandals Resorts' exclusive offer, there is no need to put vacation plans on hold."

Unique to many other promotions that offer a fixed air credit, the "Companion Flies Free" program is designed to cover the base fare (excluding all government taxes and fees) of the companion air ticket.  Valid for travel September 1, 2011 through December 28, 2011 at Sandals Resorts and September 1, 2011 through December 21, 2011 at Beaches Resorts (blackout dates may apply), the program is applicable to coach-class air tickets booked from the Continental US.  With airfares hovering upwards of $500 from major US gateways to the Caribbean, the "Sandals Companion Flies Free" promotion provides an unprecedented savings.  Best of all, the promotion is also combinable with the current up to 65 percent off room rate sales at participating resorts, with room rates at Sandals Resorts starting as low as $162.50 per person, per night for a six-night stay.  

The "Sandals Companion Flies Free" program is available at 12 Sandals Resorts locations in Jamaica, Antigua, St. Lucia, and The Bahamas and all four Beaches Resorts locations in Turks & Caicos and Jamaica. As with all Luxury Included® vacations, a stay at Sandals Resorts or Beaches Resorts offers more quality inclusions than any other resort company with superior accommodations, endless gourmet dining options, unlimited premium brand wine and spirits, nightly entertainment, watersports including snorkeling and scuba diving and a myriad of other exclusive amenities.
