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.

The flight to and from are being ran by First Choice Airways.  This could be a good boost to local business on the Island and will also give the residents of Lanzarote a chance to fly to Canada.

It is not a religion, but provides a personal operating system which you install in your body-mind’s hard disk by regular practice of psychophysical exercises ranging from t’ai chi and the other internal boxing forms, chi gung, calisthenics, meditation and inner ‘alchemy’ all the way through to observing the correct feng shui in your home and workplace, clearing your meridians with acupuncture or shiatsu and even how you make love with your partner”

From February 9th – 11th he will be in Lanzarote, the most ‘mystical’ of the Canary Islands, to give the islanders and tourists a taste of his unique form of practical healing, entertainment and commonsense. Given his status, there are far more exotic sounding destinations that he could have chosen for a winter retreat, so what was the lure?
“The island seems to be such a paradox. On the one hand it’s a destination for many thousands of tourists looking for some r&r but it’s the other side that captured my imagination. Volcanism, magnetism, ley lines, dramatic nature and the legend that Atlantis was located somewhere in the area, I’m really looking forward to working with the people and the energy there.
On this tour I will be revealing a new concept that I call BEYOND REALITY – The Keys To Your Super-Nature, which represents the next step in human evolution.
�
Reality is based entirely on ideas made manifest. Go behind and BEYOND REALITY and you can realise your super-nature. This done, you find yourself able to effect quantum transformational shifts, more usually referred to as miracles (of healing for mind body, soul, relationships, finances etc), in the material realm by the power of intention alone.
The Theatre Show will give a 2-hour taste of my approach to this concept. Following on from this the workshops will delve far deeper and comprise of techniques based on ancient Taoism along with guidelines for maintaining yourself in an optimum state of health and equilibrium in all respects and aspects of life as you undergo and partake of the thrills and spills of the transformative thrust occurring for us all. And not only that, it will be a lot of fun”.

Friday 9th February: BEYOND REALITY with Barefoot Doctor at the Theatre in Tias (Plaza San Antonio, close to the Church-Museum and Gazette office) 20:00-22:00. The theatre will be open from 19:30. Tickets 20€ available from the Gazette Office in Tias, Montana Villas and Pools in Playa Blanca and Kemp Erlandsen in Costa Teguise.Tickets in Fuerteventura are available from the Fuerteventura Gazette office.

As you all should know many of the rules when flying have been changed.  These rules now apply when flying anywhere in the world but there seems to still be a lot of confusion when taking hand luggage on to the plane.

When flying to Lanzarote you must read the rules and ensure that you follow them so you will not be delayed when trying to board.
