A NEW travel venture is taking off in style tomorrow with a civic launch party.

The Lord Mayor of York, Councillor Dave Taylor, is due to carry out the official opening of the relocated Amigo Travel office in Blossom Street at 5pm.

Going into the office, next to Reel Cinema, is an experience in itself, intended to get people into the holiday mood as soon as they step through the door.

Parts of the interior of a British Airways A320 aircraft have been incorporated into the design, including seats and windows, to give the impression of jetting off to a dream destination while booking a break.

Customers old and new will be welcome at tomorrow’s launch party from 4.30pm to 7pm, with guest appearances from Mickey and Minnie Mouse, drinks and nibbles, and a free prize draw for a holiday voucher.
