FLIGHT INFORMATION
Enjoy the convenience of flying from your local airport
We think the start and end of your holiday should be as relaxing as the holiday itself. So on many of our holidays we offer flights from your local airport and/or connecting flights via London.
Fly local from only £30 per person
Flying from your local airport couldn’t be easier. Your choice of airport will either be supplement-free or at a small additional cost. Details of these costs are on the relevant holiday pages or please speak to one of our Holiday Advisors.
Connecting flights from only £99 per person
If you can’t fly direct to your destination from your local airport, usually you’ll have the choice of taking a regional connecting flight to Heathrow or Gatwick with prices starting from just £99 per person return. We can arrange this for you. On most flights your luggage will automatically be checked through to your final destination, so there’s no need to collect or check in your luggage twice. And there’s no messing about with several tickets, you will receive a single e-ticket for the entire journey.
Connecting flights are now even easier
If your main flight is with British Airways in most cases any connecting flights will also be with British Airways and you will probably pass through Terminal 5, the newest terminal at Heathrow, which has been specifically designed to aid quick and easy flight connections. So connecting through Heathrow Airport has never been so hassle-free.
