For a wider selection of regional airport departures we are able to book a number of alternative airlines. These offer a no frills service with no seat allocation and an in-flight service limited to drinks and snacks which you purchase onboard. Usually, the further in advance you book the better chance of getting the lowest fare, especially for peak dates.
Transfers
At the time of enquiry our knowledgeable sales team can advise you on the best options to get you from the airport to resort. We can offer a range of transfers from private taxis, door-to-door shared transfers and private transfers for the ultimate in convenience – this is often much cheaper than you might think, especially for groups of four people or more.
Car Hire
| We can also organise car hire which will allow you the freedom and flexibility to go where you want, when you want. To hire a car you must be at least 23 years old and have held a full UK license for at least one year. The driver must have a credit card that you can leave details of at the airport when you collect your car. |
