Still not booked that dream summer getaway? Fancy long, golden beaches, culture, history and a touch of boutique shopping? With the Channel Islands’ airline Aurigny launching a new route from East Midlands airport to Guernsey this spring, it’s now time to consider this fabulous little island.
Aurigny is operating a daily service from Friday 01 May with flights on sale now, from £29pp one way (including all taxes, charges and luggage allowance).
With a direct flight time of only 1 hour 15 minutes from East Midlands airport, Guernsey is close to home yet feels like abroad, where visitors can take advantage of a ‘pound for a pound’ (Guernsey issues its own bank notes but uses the sterling currency), stunning unspoilt scenery (27 miles of cliff top paths and 27 bays and beaches) and a unique holiday experience (mix of Anglo-Norman heritage and traditional customs still practiced today).
Escape the crazy pace of today’s hectic lifestyle and theme park culture and reconnect with Guernsey’s gentler rhythm. From its two annual floral festivals and two walking weeks, beach cafes to contemporary dining, neighbouring car free islands of Herm and Sark, quirky events including sheep racing and scarecrow festival, vibrant capital St Peter Port and compelling 5,000 years of history… Guernsey offers a rich and unique island life experience.
