More flights mean more holiday opportunities in Lanzarote

With the launch of new Aer Lingus flights to the popular Canary Island of Lanzarote, it’s the perfect time for an sunny getaway. British holidaygoers well appreciate the sunny climate of this beautiful island. Year-round sunshine, stunning shoreline views and cheap hotels in Lanzarote are now more accessible than ever before, with new flight routes going from Gatwick to Arrecife airport three days a week.

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. Holiday hotspots took a dip in tourism after the credit crunch hitting holiday budgets hard at the end of last year. 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 also some fantastic deals on Lanzarote hotels to be had at the moment. 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.
