Thomsonfly is known as one of the cheap options when flying to Lanzarote yet a lot of poeple don’t know which destinations they can fly to and which airport they leave from.

Thomsonfly actually fly from over half of the main airports in the UK to Lanzarote.  To view the airports follow the following link: http://www.thomsonfly.com/en/destination.html Hover your mouse over the airport closest to you to see where they fly to.

Both Manchester and Gatwick offer 3+ flights a week to Lanzarote.

Lanzarote is now home to the only official RYA Motor Yacht training centre in the Canary islands.  Sea Master Training Centre centre principal Duncan Boycott was given the approval of the RYA on the 15th November after months of paper work and many inspections.

The training centre which is now based in the popular Marina Rubicon is not only offering  training courses for British Citizens or Residents who are interested in learing how to sail/drive a boat also offers Luxery Day and Weekly Charters.

They are many different course you can choose from all of which (if you pass) will get you an official certificate from the RYA.

If you would like further information on the courses available or interested in going on a day charter trip then visit Duncan’s web site, Sea Master Training Centre Lanzarote

Our sister site Puerto del Carmen reviews is now back on line after a couple of days down time.  We have been working hard on improving the site.  Much of the work is in the back ground but the most obvious change to the public is the colours.

Now this change has been made we are going to concentrate on getting more pictures of the bars and restaurants before the hotels and apartments.

If you have been to Puerto Del Carmen before why not check out the reviews in the Puerto del Carmen bars section or add your own.

Yesterday Lanzarote was placed on orange alert after another tropical storm was heading towards the Island.

The storm which ended up hitting Tenerife has caused a vast amount of damage.

Last year at this time Lanzarote was hit by tropical storm delta which caused a lot of damage throughout the Island.

Should we expect the same weather next year?  Keep up to date with the current weather by visiting the Lanzarote Weather page.

Nexus Airways have confirmed they will not make the Christmas flights to Lanzarote. 

Unfortunately finalising our last investors is taking longer than we anticipated, with this weeks media focus on possible “green tax” for aviation this will no doubt cause us more problems in securing the finance we need over the next few weeks, therefore it looks like our Christmas flights will not operate as we had hoped, we are considering looking for final investment from the Islands themselves, in hope we’ll have more success than we are currently getting from the UK.

Lanzarote is in need of some cheaper flights so we are hoping that Nexus Airways will find some companies/people to back this venture.  In the meet time Nexus will hopefully still begin flying in May as stated above.
