La Gomera gets direct air link from Gatwick
The first flights between the UK and the Canary island of La Gomera are to be run this winter.
Cadogan Holidays is to run packages to the sister island of Tenerife based on weekly Tuesday flights with Astreas from November 6.
The new itinerary will cut down transfer times from the previous 20 minute catamaran trip from Tenerife and further 35 minute transfer on the island to a 15 minute transfer from the airport to the hotel.
The catamaran service will remain available for people who arrive or depart on a different day or who would simply prefer this option.
Cadogan features the four star superior Jardín Tecina hotel with five swimming pools, an 18-hole golf course a health and beauty centre.
Seven nights starts at £566 per adult on a half board basis in November including return flights and transfers.
Cadogan commercial and product director John Riley said: “This new route means that our customers can enjoy this delightful gem amongst the Canaries without the hassle of transfers from Tenerife.”
