While many people have been out and about hunting for bargains after Christmas and New Year, there have also been a good few people snapping up last minute flights to the Canary Islands - and who can blame them with the tantalising prospect of some winter sunshine! So this has been great news for those who were able to take advantage of the cheap flights to La Palma and possibly even better news for the holiday resorts such as Los Cancajos, Puerto Naos and Tazacorte with apartments by the sea! But whichever way you look at it the result has been that accommodation, whether it be rural house or self-catering apartments have been in high demand. The message as always, book early when possible to get the exact accommodation you are looking for!
However, flights to La Palma remain at low, low prices - for January and February at least although as usual, flights for peak holiday times are unfortunately very high :(
But if you are fortunate enough to be able to take your pick as to when you can fly, then there are some stunning deals. For example, London Gatwick to La Palma return for two weeks - £99!! How crazy is that?
Direct flights from the UK to La Palma are not just from Gatwick though but also Manchester added to which there are direct flight from Germany, the Netherlands, Madrid, Belgium and Sweden and so it's well worth searching for those bargain last minute flights.
Just to whet your appetite, here is a selection of flights from Gatwick to La Palma return with Thomsons:
Friday 25 January - 01 February £109 (one week)
Friday 25 January - 08 February £99 (two weeks) * Star buy *
Friday 01 - 08 February £129 (one week)
Friday 08 - 15 February £169 (one week)
Friday 08 - 22 February £149 (two weeks)
Friday 15 February to 01 March £294 (two weeks)
All flights subject to availability and prices correct at time of writing and remember when booking flights to La Palma, the airport code is SPC!
If you are wondering if there is any last minute accommodation to go with the fights, then that is certainly a possibility especially if there has been a cancellation. Just when I thought there was not a single apartment left at the Puerto de Tazacorte during January, there was a sudden cancellation and one lucky couple struck gold with a great apartment overlooking the sea.
So things do change and I happen to know that there are still a few possibilities for self-catering apartments at Tazacorte during February.
Mm, perfect for a Valentine's treat to remember!
