Lanzarote now even more accessible to holidaymakers
Holidaymakers keen to enjoy Lanzarote’s sun-drenched beaches, relaxed atmosphere and many entertainments will be pleased to hear about the launch of new flights to the island by Aer Lingus this autumn. The brilliant Lanzarote sunshine and mild climate make it an ideal island getaway any time of the year, but perfect if you want to escape the not-so-sunny British seasons. As of October 25th 2009, the well known airline has started running flights between Gatwick and Lanzarote’s Arrecife airport three days a week, making year-round sunshine, stunning scenery and cheap Lanzarote hotels even more accessible than before.
The new route announcement follows news earlier in the year that the Spanish government will be offering discounts on airport taxes to airlines meeting certain criteria when flying to Spanish destinations. The government hopes that this latest attempt to boost tourism will encourage other airlines to introduce new flights as well, keeping the market affordable and competitive. With the credit crunch hitting holidaymakers hard at the end of last year, Lanzarote – like a number of other European destinations – suffered a drop in visitor numbers. Its airport saw a reduction of 3.3% in December 2008 compared with the same time the previous year, which raised concerns about the health of local tourism.
The news of the new route between London and Lanzarote will make the popular hotspot, even more trendy. Similarly, it is great news for eager sun-seekers too, as holidaymakers have the chance to enjoy a paradise island break at an affordable price. The prices for the new flights start at an affordable £34.99 one way, making it a great choice for your next holiday in the sun. There are several options on cheap Lanzarote hotels, depending on your preferences. A bungalow for two in a four star resort, for example, costs as little as £14 per person per night this October, while all-inclusive hotels in Lanzarote can be found for around £27. With fantastic deals both on transport and accommodation, an autumn break is both affordable and accessible.
