Latebreaks.com was founded in
November 1996 at Bournemouth International
Airport previously known as Hurn Airport to
develop a Ryanair travelers and tourist hotel
information desk to support the Airport's
new Ryanair, Bournemouth airport to Dublin
route with Hotel Reservations, Car Hire and
Flight information.
The initial demand was for information
in connection with Bournemouth hotels and
Dublin hotels, car hire and Ryanair low fares
tickets. The route has been a tremendous success
resulting in an expansion by Latebreaks to
include partner hotels in most of the counties
of Ireland, see www.hotelireland.com
At that time, Bournemouth airport
(Hurn airport) or Ryanair had no Internet
presence so the Latebreaks website (previously
www.ryanair.net) was a valuable source of
information and advertising for Bournemouth
airport and Ryanair tourists and travelers,
it was also a very useful promotional tool
for Bournemouth Airport, Ryanair and Latebreaks
for promoting the Dublin to Bournemouth ryanair
route, the Latebreaks website was used in
connection with joint advertising partnerships,
competitions and exhibitions. Latebreaks also
added information to support the other airline
routes to and from Jersey, Spain, Malta, and
Faro airport in the Algarve region of Portugal
by Palmair, Islanders, Jetsun, Airtours etc
etc, with a selection of website portals such
as www.algarvedirect.com,
for algarve villa rentals www.palmair.co.uk
for flight and Jersey hotel information and
www.islanders.co.uk
for information in connection with their routes
to the Channel Islands and Gerona in Spain.
