Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Thomsonfly shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Thomsonfly offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Thomsonfly at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Thomsonfly? Wrong! If the Thomsonfly is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Thomsonfly then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Thomsonfly? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Thomsonfly and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Thomsonfly wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Thomsonfly then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Thomsonfly site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Thomsonfly, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Thomsonfly, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

History Boeing 757-200 (2003)Thomsonfly traces its roots to its parent airline, Britannia Airways, founded by Ted Langton to fulfil his holiday company's charter demands. The airline began as Euravia in 1962 with a small fleet of Lockheed Constellations. It moved on to the Bristol Britannia aircraft; the name was changed to Britannia Airways and remained until December 2004. The greatest period of growth came when Britannia acquired Boeing 737#737-200 aircraft and the fleet expanded to 45 aircraft. Britannia was the European launch customer for the Boeing 767 and then moved to an all-Boeing 767 and 757 fleet in the mid-1990s.

Realising that the Internet and a changing marketplace (taken advantage of by companies such as easyJet and Ryanair) were leaving them behind, Thomson Holidays initiated a web-oriented rebranding. It used the Thomsonfly name to include all of the UK flying operations and so the larger Britannia Airways was rebranded as Thomsonfly in 2005.

Scheduled operations began on 31 March 2004 with four Boeing 737#737-500s from a new passenger terminal at Coventry Airport. The airline became involved in controversy when it took over ownership of the airport lease. A small number of local residents and Warwick (district) mounted a campaign against regular passenger flights from the airport, which had previously been used for both passenger and freight aircraft. The planning case was contentious and lengthy, so Thomsonfly continued to operate from Coventry awaiting the outcome of the case. Planning permission has been granted for a larger passenger terminal and the ownership of the lease has passed to CAFCO, an airport and property development company with no links to TUI.

On 28 April 2005, Thomsonfly became the first airline to fly from Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield, the UK's newest airport serving Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. Thomsonfly was also the first to operate direct long haul services from the airport. Thomsonfly remains the dominant carrier at Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield (Doncaster Sheffield Airport) Coventry and Bournemouth airports.

Britannia Airways/Thomsonfly was the best on-time charter airline in 2004 as measured by the Air Transport Users' Council and also won the 'TravelWeekly' best UK charter airline award for 2004. Thomson Travel was taken over by the German company Preussag, in 2001 and was rebranded as TUI AG. Together with other acquisitions TUI became the world's largest travel company. Thomsonfly is part of Tui Airline Management (TAM).

The new company is to be known as TUI Travel PLC and is to be operational by 3 September 2007.
