25% Off ITA Flights to All Destinations
ITA have just launched a very short discount. This one ends on 18th December. You can get 25% off flights departing from the UK between 10th January and 30th June 2026 (excluding 25th March-6th April) if you enter the code GFT25 at check-out.
The discount is valid across all cabins, with the best savings in Business Class. You can get some big savings, considering ITA’s pricing is often competitive to begin with and often included in our fare roundups.
For example, this one-way London City to Bangkok flight is reduced by £385 with the discount code:
This sale is a good time to plan trips for next year. You have the choice of departing from Heathrow or London City, and once in Italy, you can connect to a good range of European routes and a growing list of long-haul routes. If needed, you can use the code more than once, but keep in mind it’s not valid for multi-city itineraries.
You’ll have to make a decision quickly, as the booking window is so short, but at least the travel window is generous. If you have a trip in mind, it’s well worth a quick search.
KLM Announces Jersey Route
KLM has confirmed it will launch flights between Jersey and Amsterdam from 4th April 2026. Flights will operate on Saturdays from 4th April to 3rd July, then increase to daily service from 4th July to 30th August, before reverting to Saturdays until 24th October.
The timings are ideal for connections:
| Flight | Route | Departure | Arrival |
|---|---|---|---|
| KL1097 | Amsterdam to Jersey | 12:05 | 12:25 |
| KL1098 | Jersey to Amsterdam | 12:55 | 15:20 |
Flights are operated by KLM Cityhopper using Embraer 175 and 190 aircraft, which have Economy and Business.
The route will open up the options to connect to more than 160+ destinations via Schiphol. KLM will be the only SkyTeam airline operating from Jersey. If you’ve moved over to the Flying Blue loyalty programme, this is particularly good news.
If you live in Jersey, Flying Blue becomes an even more compelling programme, removing the need to connect via London, Manchester or Dublin for long-haul flights (or at least giving another option). It’s a shame the route is seasonal.
KLM has also announced two further seasonal routes, following a similar pattern: one flight, then daily, and back to one. Destinations include Santiago de Compostela and Oviedo.
Hawaiian Airlines Oneworld Joining Date Revealed
Hawaiian Airlines is still on track to become oneworld’s 16th member on 22nd April 2026, around the same time Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian are expected to complete the merger of their Passenger Service System (PSS) following Alaska’s $1.9 billion acquisition. Once the PSS is finalised, all check-in, seat selection and ticketing will be done on one platform, and things should run smoothly once Hawaiian joins Oneworld.
The date has not yet been officially confirmed, but it’s listed on the Qantas website alongside details of the Oneworld integration.
You cannot yet enjoy the benefits when flying with Hawaiian if you hold status with another Oneworld airline unless you hold status with ATMOS Rewards – the new joint loyalty programme of Hawaiian and Alaska.
Here’s how your Oneworld status will match up to ATMOS Rewards from 22nd April:
- ATMOS Silver = Oneworld Ruby
- ATMOS Gold = Oneworld Sapphire
- ATMOS Platinum or ATMOS Titanium = Oneworld Emerald
Once fully integrated, you’ll be able to use the Hawaiian lounges subject to the usual Oneworld access rules. Hawaiian’s own lounges are located in Honolulu, Maui, Kona, Hilo and Kauai.
If you’re planning a trip with Hawaiian, it’s best to wait until after the 22nd so you can enjoy Oneworld benefits and hopefully the join date won’t be delayed.
