From the heart of London to the Home of Golf and back

From the heart of London to the Home of Golf and back - in a single day

- Friday, 2 April, 2010

Executive golf fans in and around the City can enjoy a full day of luxury hospitality at The Open Championship in St Andrews, this year, without missing a night in London, thanks to two extra return flights put on especially for the event by CityJet.

Golf's oldest Major celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. To mark this historic milestone, The Official Open Championship Hospitality has teamed up with CityJet to offer return flights from London City Airport combined with a full day of exclusive corporate hospitality.

It is the perfect way for businesses and their guests to enjoy an unforgettable day watching the best golfers in the world, without the need for an overnight stay.

The day starts off with an 8am flight from London City Airport to Dundee with breakfast served on board. City Airport is just 15 minutes from Canary Wharf and 50 minutes from Regents Park, and CityJet offers a 15 minute check-in time - the shortest of any UK airport.

After a short transfer from Dundee to St Andrews, guests will enjoy bacon rolls and coffee, followed by a champagne reception and a full day of hospitality at the Official Hospitality Village at the Old Course. The package includes a three course lunch with wine, an open bar all day, afternoon tea and an official Open Championship admission ticket.

After an early evening transfer from Dundee, guests are back at London City Airport by 8pm.

David MacCallum, sales director for The Official Open Championship Hospitality, said: 'This is a very special year for one of the world's greatest sporting events, and there is no better place to enjoy this occasion than at the Home of Golf - St Andrews.'

'This is the ultimate championship for golf fans, and now those in London can enjoy a full day of world class golf and the very best in corporate entertaining, and still be back in the City in time for dinner.'

Geoffrey O'Byrne White, Chief Executive of CityJet said: 'CityJet offers daily flights to 14 destinations from London City Airport, including four flights to Dundee and seven flights to Edinburgh.

The golfing community appreciates our frequent flights, especially now that our CityPlus product allows passengers to take their golfing equipment with them for free.'

These luxury packages are available on Thursday 15 July and Friday 16 July. The cost is £ 795 per person, inclusive of VAT, but places are limited.
