London Eye acts to ease ongoing flight chaos

21 Apr 2010

Planes might slowly be getting back in the air, but for those who have missed flights over the last six days it is estimated that it may still be a week or more before the backlog is cleared and everyone who wants to travel is able to. For others the moment has passed, and all they have to show is a 'useless' flight ticket.

However maybe not so useless. Thanks to an offer from the London Eye, it could just get you 'off the ground' after all! No ash will stop thwarted travellers taking a standard flight over London on the London Eye.

Merlin Entertainments is offering half-price admission to any of its 22 UK attractions on production of a valid unused flight ticket and a passport/ID for up to two weeks after the date the flight was cancelled.

Merlin Entertainments hopes that it will be some consolation at least for the disappointment of a lost holiday; and especially for all those people from overseas trapped in the UK and unable to get home.

Anyone wanting to take up the offer should present their unused airline ticket and their passport/ID at the attraction ticket desk to claim their discount. Offer does not apply to online or telephone pre-bookings.

Offer is valid on London Eye Standard Flights only.

Offer until 14th May 2010. London Eye Standard Terms and Conditions apply.

Merlin Entertainments UK attractions: Madame Tussauds; Merlin Entertainments London Eye; SEA LIFE London Aquarium and 10 other SEA LIFE attractions; London, York and Edinburgh Dungeons; Alton Towers Resort; THORPE PARK; Chessington World of Adventures; LEGOLAND Windsor; Warwick Castle and the new LEGOLAND Discovery Centre in Manchester.
