Monarch and Thomsonfly in Birmingham flights battle

A new low cost airlines war is breaking out in Birmingham with Monarch and Thomsonfly both expanding there number of flights and routes.

They will also be offering an extra five flights per week to Malaga Airport along with it's existing flights to Alicante and Tenerife.

Thomsonfly announced last week that it would also be offering five flighst per week from Birmingham to Palma.

Bmibaby, Flybe and Mytravellite also fly to Spain from Birmingham.

New partnership with airport transfer company

After a trying a lot of companies out, price testing, service testing and using "local" companies we have decided to recommend Shuttle Direct for all the mainline airport transfers on Spanish Airport Guide.

For the Canary Islands we are still referring Owen and his team at the Canary Forum.

We have choosen Shuttle Direct for the mainland transfers because in our opinion they offer the BEST prices and service on all "official" airport transfers. They also have an excellent website where you are able to make instant, secure online bookings. Once registered you are also able to go in and change your booking details at anytime.

Airport transfers are a funny business. Its one of the businesses that the Brits turn to when they arrive in Spain. The problem with these guys is they may not have the correct insurances and liceinces to operate an airport transfer service.

Welcome

Welcome to my blogspot.

Over the next few weeks I plan to get to grips with this and post any news about flights, car hire, transfers or anything of note that occurs at any of the main tourist and business airports in Spain.

At the moment I recieve about 30 e mails per day regarding travelling through Spanish Airports and the various flights and offers that are available. I aim to publish a summary of that information here.
