With summer a distant memory, Wizz Air is providing some light relief from the dreary British weather and has launched new routes to a Spanish hotspot that’s 20C in November
Just as we long for warmer climates, Wizz Air has launched flights to one of Europe’s sunniest cities. Fares start from just £26.99 with the budget airline offering travellers the chance to bask in temperatures of up to 20C during the winter months.
Expanding its Spanish network, Wizz Air has introduced new flights to the bustling coastal city of Málaga in southern Spain. Thanks to its position as the capital of the Costa del Sol in Andalusia, the city enjoys more than 300 days of Mediterranean sunshine every year and a pleasantly mild climate, making it one of the sunniest destinations in Europe.
It’s packed with things to do, from wandering around the charming Old Town, to exploring its stretches of golden beaches, savouring tapas along its bustling waterfront and visiting one of more than 30 museums. During a trip, visitors can expect to soak up temperatures of up to 20C in November, and in December can marvel at its famous Christmas light display, the illuminating Calle Larios, alongside its festive markets.
Flights to Spain’s sixth-largest city will depart from London Luton four times a week, with the first route taking off on Thursday 22, October. Wizz Air fares start from £26.99, with the journey to Málaga taking just over three hours, so it couldn’t be easier to bask in some winter sun, while exploring a lively Spanish metropolis. Yet Málaga isn’t the only additional destination the airline is whizzing off to during the winter months. At the same time, they also launched routes to the Spanish city of Granada and to Oviedo, the walking capital of the Asturias region.
Granada is a Spanish gem in southern Andalusia, famed for its striking mountain scenery, old Moorish district with cobbled stone streets and medieval architecture, and its free tapas culture, served with every drink order at local bars. Meanwhile, the northwestern town of Oviedo, nestled between the Cantabrian Mountains and the Bay of Biscay, is a blissfully quiet haven with a historic Old Town, traditional markets, and a majestic Gothic cathedral.
The newly-launched routes will depart from London Luton to Granada twice a week, with fares starting from £28.99 and a journey time of 2 hours and 45 minutes. Elsewhere, Wizz Air flights to Asturias (Oviedo) will depart from London Luton three times a week, with fares starting from £28.99 and a comfortable journey time of less than two hours.
Yvonne Moynihan, Managing Director at Wizz Air UK, said: “Spain has always been a favourite with British holidaymakers, but there’s so much more to the country than a summer beach holiday. With three new routes launching from London Luton over the next week, we’re giving our customers even more choice when it comes to exploring Spain, whatever the time of year.
“From winter sunshine in Málaga, and tapas in Granada, to skiing in the Sierra Nevada or discovering the beautiful coastline of Asturias, these destinations show just how much Spain has to offer beyond the summer months. With fares starting from less than £30, we’re continuing to grow our UK network and making it easier for more people to discover somewhere new without spending a fortune.”
