Welcome to the final edition of the Flyer
Today The Flyer is winging its way to you for the last time. But although the newsletter is ending, Guardian travel content isn't going anywhere - to stay up to date with Guardian travel news, you can follow us on Twitter and don't forget to bookmark the Guardian Travel website - it is updated daily with travel news, readers' tips and much more.
To mark the Flyer's retirement we are offering readers the chance to win two flights to New Zealand. All you have to do is sign up to Guardian Holiday Offers' newsletter today, which will keep you up to date with all the best holiday deals and customer reviews every month.
In addition we have all the usual content: Ski escapes for snow lovers with a top chalet guide; adventure travel takes us to India's mysterious final frontier, Nagaland, and unearths a cultural surprise in Dubai; Ashes and Australia fans will love our continuing guide to the host cities; get inspired by Been there's Flickr photo club; plus the latest news, comment and competitions.
Finally, don't forget there are other newsletters you may like to receive from the Guardian, covering a variety of topics: environment, global development, film, music, fashion, football and more. Click here to see the full list of newsletters available and to subscribe to them.
