Why not book a bargain flight to Mallorca?

Are you looking for a sunshine getaway? Mallorca in the Spanish Balearic Isles is just two hours from the UK – that’s about half the time it takes to drive from Manchester to London!

Once known largely for its lively nightlife – which is going strong, along with excellent resort facilities – Mallorca also has a sophisticated side which, coupled with its stunning scenery, is what makes it so popular with celebrities. Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas have a home here, and even the Spanish Royal family enjoy their annual holiday on this Mediterranean island.

The main airport is located in the capital city of Palma, an elegant metropolis with museums, galleries, a magnificent gothic cathedral and a sweeping harbour and marina, where luxury yachts are moored and where cruise liners come and go from all over the world.

Foodies will love the range of restaurants on offer, while shoppers can enjoy all types of retail therapy from large department stores to individual designer shops.
