Sunway Holidays will operate a new charter holiday flights series from Ireland West Knock to Lanzarote commencing on June 12 next. Flights will operate on a weekly basis every Friday from June 12 through to October 30. Lanzarote has been a very popular destination for west of Ireland holidaymakers and Ireland West Airport is pleased to announce the re-instatement of Lanzarote to the airport’s range of holiday destinations in 2009.
Lanzarote has always been a favourite destination with resorts such as Puerto Del Carmen, Matagorda, Costa Teguise, and the up and coming resort of Playa Blanca. Lanzarote really does have something to suit all budgets and styles of families, couples and groups especially with the great offers available at the moment.
Welcoming the news Annette Kearney, marketing and route development manager at Ireland West Knock, said: “It is a significant boost for Ireland West Airport Knock to welcome leading tour operator brand, Sunway. This is indeed a vote of confidence in Ireland West Knock and our region during a challenging time within the travel industry in Ireland. We are confident that the very popular Lanzarote programme will be well received by the public and travel agents in the region, and we hope these holiday packages to Lanzarote prove to be hugely successful. We look forward to working with the Sunway team in the forthcoming seasons and wish them every success in their new venture at the airport.”
A sunshine holiday haven, the island of Lanzarote sits along the same latitude as Florida and the western Sahara, virtually guaranteeing average daily temperatures of 21 degrees or more in winter. It's just as well, because a holiday here centres largely around the sea with its excellent watersports, marvellous beaches and secluded coves. There are alternatives, however, including the capital of Arrecife, a historic port town with a fortress, museum, and gallery of modern art.
The Timanfaya National Park should also top your sightseeing agenda. Its dark, dramatic, landscape is home to the lava fields and awesome craters of Fire Mountain as well as Cueva de los Verdes, an immense volcanic tube, which extends for more than five kilometres down to the sea.
Lanzarote is a mecca for watersport enthusiasts, every type is available including surfing, windsurfing, and jet skiing, plus there's a sub-aqua school in Costa Teguise and scuba diving facilities in Puerto del Carmen. Most of the island's resorts are in the southeast with all new developments built to complement their surroundings. Costa Teguise is quiet and relaxing while lively Puerto del Carmen parties from dusk 'til dawn.
