BMI flies to Gothenburg

BMI has announced plans to launch a new route from Bristol to Gothenburg. Launching on 22 January 2018, bmi will be operating a twice weekly route between the two cities.

This brings the number of destinations served by bmi from Bristol to nine. The bmi network out of Bristol includes Paris, Milan, Munich, Brussels, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Aberdeen. Bristol is bmi’s biggest UK hub and with onward connections via the likes of Munich, Brussels and Frankfurt, customers from the South West can travel further into Europe and other global destinations.

Gothenburg is the airline’s first Swedish route from Bristol. It is the location of Scandinavia’s largest port and is a hub for global trade, currently enjoying unprecedented economic growth. It is a popular mini break destination thanks to its fabulous food, eclectic culture and vibrant nightlife, as well as being the gateway to the stunning coast of West Sweden.

Alternative accommodation for a city break

TRAVELLING to a European city does not have to mean staying right in the centre in an overpriced hotel. Outdoor accommodation specialist Pitchup.com has alternative ideas that are easy on the wallet and offer a more fun and quirky alternative.

Gothenburg
The Swedish city is an increasingly popular destination thanks to its rich culinary scene, proximity to the coastline and fascinating sights. Kungälvs Camping is just outside Gothenburg in a quiet town. Golfing and fishing are some of the local activities available, while the site has an easy stroll into the nearest town along the beach.

Dubrovnik
Why stay in the centre of Dubrovnik when just 15km away, accommodation for a holiday could be in a funky treehouse! Surely more fun for the holiday photos and Facebook updates. Cadmos Village is situated in Komaji and within easy reach of both Dubrovnik centre and airport. There is so much to do here from archery, painting and ziplining to hiking, bike tours and wine tasting.

Ljubljana
The compact Slovenian city is a must-see for anyone who loves European city breaks. Pitchup.com has seen vast growth in outdoor holidays to Slovenia and when you have a site just a 20-minute cycle from the centre of Ljubljana, it’s not hard to see why.

Madrid
On the outskirts of Madrid lies Camping Park Arco Iris. Although most visitors will probably spend their days exploring the shops, museums and galleries of Madrid, there is also plenty to keep them on site including a pool, jacuzzi, sauna, restaurant and kids’ playground.
Paris

Rome
Who needs to stay in the centre of Rome when from as little as £17 per night, visitors can stay just 12km away and enjoy a shuttle bus transfer everyday into the city. Camping Village Tiber offers guests a swimming pool, pizzeria and free wifi with entertainment in peak season.

Nordic connections for Cambridge flights

SCANDINAVIA’S SUN-AIR is planning to expand its range of Nordic destinations from Cambridge, England, with connecting services to #Stockholm and #Helsinki. 

The move comes after the successful introduction of the Gothenburg service in March this year. Passengers from Cambridge travelling to the two Scandinavian capitals – Stockholm and Helsinki – will be able to use the connections at Gothenburg for onward flights.

Says David Surley, head of business and route development at Cambridge Airport: ‘SUN-AIR has not only brought us closer to Scandinavia with its daily midweek Gothenburg flights, it is now connecting Cambridge and our region to two of Europe’s most important capital cities.

‘Flight links to Stockholm’s downtown airport take you right to the heart of the Swedish capital, avoiding lengthy road journeys, while the link to Helsinki is particularly significant – the only connection from the East England region, shaving hours off the alternative journey using Gatwick or Heathrow.’

Daily flights are operated from Cambridge, Monday-Thursday at 7am, Return flights depart Helsinki and Stockholm at approximately 4pm.

Flights and hotel bookings for both Stockholm and Helsinki can be made online at www.ba.com.
