BBC Early Bird Ends December 31

Don't miss your chance to save money! The Bahamas Billfish Championship's Early Bird disappears on December 31, 2011. And with the Early Bird's departure goes the 10% entry fee discount. Whether your team is planning to fish one or all five BBC tournaments in 2012, now is the time to take advantage of the BBC Early Bird Discount and save money.

Your team can save a full 10% on 2012 BBC entry fees if you enter and pay before December 31, 2011. That's a savings of $1,000 for teams fishing all five BBC tournaments that enter before the December 31 deadline.

The Early Bird Discount applies only to Tournament Entry Fees; not the mandatory BBC Membership fee. All tournament Entry Fees are due and payable 30-days prior to the start of each 2012 BBC tournament. The BBC Registration Fee is non-refundable and Tournament Entry Fees become non-refundable 30-days prior to the tournament start date.

You will notice that the online Registration & Tournament Entry form does not have an area where the Early Bird Discount can be deducted; however, the discount will be applied before the credit card is processed.

New Planes & Service for Gulfstream

Gulfstream International Airlines has started non-stop daily flights between Orlando, Florida and Marsh Harbour, Abaco. The short one-hour twenty-minute flight leaves Orlando in the early morning and departs Marsh Harbour in the early evening making day trips to Abaco possible.

At the same time, Gulfstream International Airlines announce that it has reached an agreement with Saab Aircraft Leasing to purchase six 34-seat Saab turboprop regional airliners. Gulfstream, which serves more destinations in The Bahamas than any other U.S. carrier, will deploy all six Saab turboprops on its intra-Florida and Florida-Bahamas routes, replacing smaller, 19-seat Beech 1900D aircraft.

Gulfstream International Airlines says that, in its service, the Saab will feature comfortable seating for 34 passengers; large, easy-to-access overhead bins; personalized flight attendant service; an active noise reduction system; and convenient on-board lavatories.

The carrier started integrating the six Saab regional airliners into its fleet over a nine-month period that began in mid-November.

BBC anglers can streamline their travel with Gulfstream SunPacs, the most affordable way to buy tickets with added benefits on Gulfstream. Call 1-800-688-7225 or 954-985-1500 x 249 or visit gulfstreamair.com.
