Two of the largest Airlines have agree a merger in order to buy out First Choice.
First Choice is going to stop flights to europe in order to concentrate on specialist and adventure holidays, the mergar between Thomas Cook and MyTravel is so they can hopefully buy out the Europe side of First Choice and take over there routes.
What does this mean for Lanzarote?
First Choice has been flying to Lanzarote for many years now but over the past year they have been pulling out of all holiday complexes on the island.
Hopefully, Thomas Cook (MyTravel is going to be re-branded as Thomas Cook) will be able to offer a larger selection of holiday complexes to there customer giving you a wider choice of places to stay in Lanzarote.
With more cheap flights heading to Lanzarote it will be worth you seeing if there are some price changes from Thomas Cook over the coming months.
We have just release another new section on our site. You can now view various pictures from around the island.
