The thought of a holiday often makes us gaze wistfully into space while we imagine a palm tree gently swaying along with the sound of waves lapping softly onto the shore. Or perhaps it's the thought of pulling on those trusty walking boots, fresh mountain air and the delicious smell of pine forests.
Actually, to some extent, it doesn't matter what your ideal holiday is because it's not many moments before thoughts of practicalities kick in - one of those being how to get from A to B. Yes, the dreaded job of finding flights.
When it comes to a holiday on Isla de La Palma (I've recently started to call it 'Isla de ..' from time to time to avoid confusion with other places of a similar name), to some extent the job is easy because the only company that offer direct flights are Thomsons with a flight each week from both Manchester and Gatwick.
There are of course indirect flights but many people view those as a bit of a pain, especially when they involve Tenerife as there are two airports in Tenerife, one for international flights in the south and one in the north for inter-island flights.
But hang on a minute - what about thinking out of the box and considering a two centre holiday which will not only allow you to explore two islands but also to benefit from cheap flight options to a destination such as Tenerife. And of course with flights seven days a week, it also opens up the options for which day to travel.
When it comes to getting over to La Palma, then the choices are flying or ferry with two flight operators (Binter and Islas Airways) and two ferry operators (Fred Olsen and Naviera Armas). Here are the web links to get you started.

Other possibilities well worth considering apart from the direct flights are flying via Madrid, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Gran Canaria who all have direct flights to La Palma.
