Thomsonfly.com adds Canaries and ski flights
The Canary Islands and ski destinations have been introduced for the winter by Thomson’s low fares airline.
Thomsonfly.com will serve Tenerife from Bournemouth and Doncaster and Gran Canaria from Doncaster. Ski flights to Salzburg from Bournemouth and Coventry, and to Lyon from Doncaster, Coventry and Bournemouth, have also gone on sale today. Thomsonfly.com only flew from Coventry last winter.
The winter timetable also includes flights to Paris, Amsterdam, Alicante, Malaga, Faro, Valencia, Prague, Barcelona and Jersey. The new flights start in October and run through to next April. Paris flights will operate to Orly instead of Charles de Gaulle.
One-way prices start at £17.99 to Amsterdam, Jersey and Paris, rising to £54.99 to Gran Canaria and Tenerife.
The airline’s commercial director Guy Stephenson said: “We are delighted to be able to offer the Canary Islands. We have had many requests from our customers for destinations in the Canaries – both those wanting easier access to their second homes abroad and travellers wanting to escape the cold British climate.
“The new destinations mean that our customers have a great choice of holiday, short break and business destinations to choose from – this will also attract new people to try our services and bring more people into the areas from overseas.”
