New Flights to Fuerteventura

Much was made of Ryan Airs decision to call a halt to flights to the island and it is still unknown whether this halt will be permanent or not! But of course when one airline decides the time to cut back and lose flights is now…other airlines see this as an opportunity to expand and take advantage of the situation.

Flight operator “Kiss” will be starting a new service to Fuerteventura from Manchester and Gatwick in April this year. The airline announced that the weekly “flight only” service will operate on Wednesdays. For more information visit http://www.kissflights.com/

Jet2 have been adding new destinations and talks are rumoured to be ongoing to open a service from the UK to the island. As the saying goes watch this space http://www.jet2.com/

Easyjet of course are still a low cost airline operating a regular service between the Fuerteventura and the UK albeit via Madrid. Seats can be found for as little as 60 Euros on the 5 flights a week service. Visit for information http://www.easyjet.com/

We also found flights for under 130 Euros using the Spanish national carrier Iberia between London and Fuerteventura again via Madrid. See http://www.iberia.com/

With Thompsons, Thomas Cook and My Travel operating their usual regular service, cheap seats can always be found and travelling between the UK and the island is never difficult. Also remember that regular flights from the UK and Ireland land in Arricife so a short bus journey and ferry crossing will get you to Corralejo. http://www.navieraarmas.com/
