Touchdown Holidays was formed in 1989 by experienced travellers working in the UK airline industry.  Fully aware of the concessionary travel benefits available to airline and other travel industry employees, we felt a professional travel organisation was required to service the needs of the travel trade, for their own use. Initially offering accommodation at specially discounted rates to staff making their own flight arrangements, Touchdown Holidays rapidly grew into what is now the leading tour operator in this field. Accommodation was made available worldwide on all continents of the globe at special rates, with refunds being available should offloads occur whilst travelling on stand-by.

By 1991, a demand existed for discounted air seats on a confirmed basis to eliminate the risk element of travelling stand-by. Popularity grew and grew and today, Touchdown offer package holidays and flight only arrangements for travel on over 40 airlines, together with accommodation only arrangements for those using their own flights.  We also implemented our cancellation waiver policy which ensures that, for just £5pp, you receive a full refund should you have to cancel your travel arrangements prior to departure (conditions apply).

Now in our 18th year of operation, there are now in excess of 25 reservations staff at Touchdown waiting to assist you with your travel requirements!

In 2001, Touchdown began circulating special offers via an email newsletter to registered subscribers. This was an instant success.  Our database of subscribers has since grown to over 50,000 travel industry employees who are regularly notified of our up to the minute special offers the moment we receive them! Don’t miss out, subscribe now if you haven’t already!

A host of other benefits are now offered to compliment these services, including the best priced annual travel insurance scheme, discounted car rental, discounted airport parking rates, discounted airport lounge passes and a visa credit card designed specifically for travel trade staff. These benefits, together with arranging travel for over 35,000 travel trade staff each year, and the longevity of our services to the industry, have consistently ensured Touchdown has remained at the absolute forefront of travel industry staff holidays.

In addition to Touchdown Holidays, Touchdown World Travel Group also consists of Touchdown Luxury Yacht Charters, Touchdown Helicopter Charters, Touchdown Holidays Malaysia, @mosphere Restaurant & The English Tea House & Restaurant all based in the popular and idyllic holiday destination of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.
