Happy New Year to all, hope you had a great Xmas and memorable new year. We spent Xmas at home in London doing, if I am honest, very little other than eating and drinking too much but I guess that's what Xmas is all about !!
With the start of 2012, thoughts inevitably turn to escaping from work and heading over to Condado, we have already booked to come over for Easter for 10 days and I was looking yesterday at flights for June 2012 for another escape. With the Diamond Jubilee celebrations in the UK, we have the rare occurrence of not one but two consecutive bank holidays on Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th June.
Always keen to grab some holiday for free, I thought I would price the flights on Ryanair from Stansted to San Javier. If you have checked the Ryanair site recently you will see that they have implemented the crazy "unintelligible zcgtyu grunupiz" letters that you have to enter into the site in order to progress any further, this is meant to deter the automated flight search engines, but they are so hard to read. I am sure many punters just give up at this stage. I normally end up clicking through a dozen different options before I can get an image I can actually understand and replicate on the keyboard !
To say the costs for Diamond Jubilee weekend were expensive is somewhat of an understatement, the normal Saturday flight we try to catch leaves at 07.40 am and the most we have ever paid is around £250 for 2 pax, however this year and with Ryanair always keen to make a buck, the price for the flight for Saturday 2nd June is £552.00 for 2 pax - suffice to say, IF we go, we will fly with Monarch from LGW into Alicante for £250.00 cheaper than Ryanair !
On the back of this I came across on Facebook a new link for Covera airport images, San Javier is due to close in early June (7th has been touted) so where will we end up flying after this date ?
What are your flight routes into Condado - Alicante or San Javier ??
