Vueling, Europe’s award-winning ‘best low cost airline’, now operates flights to four destinations from Cardiff for 2013.

Services to Majorca, Alicante, Malaga and Barcelona give Welsh passengers a greater choice of services when flying to some of the most loved destinations.

Direct flights from Cardiff to Palma Majorca will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays commencing June 20, 2013.

Flights to Alicante and Malaga will also operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays commencing April 2, 2013 Flights to Barcelona will operate on Fridays and Sundays offering connections to cruises departing from Barcelona.

Most cruises set sail on a Saturday so these flights will enable passengers to arrive at a convenient time in order to join their chosen cruise and spend a final night in Barcelona before returning home. Operations commence on March 31, 2013 Vueling flights also offer a wealth of onward connections available via Vueling’s successful Barcelona Hub operations, currently accessing more than 50 destinations in Europe and North-Africa, with full baggage through check-in from Cardiff Airport to final destination.

Having increased capacity from Wales by a massive 80 per cent over summer 2012, there are now more than 100,000 seats available for the Welsh market on Vueling flights through Cardiff in 2013.

Steve Hodgetts, Commercial Director at Cardiff Airport, said: “Vueling’s commitment to the South Wales market has been fantastic and those consumers who used them in 2012 have been impressed by the quality of the product.

“This has been recognised across Europe leading to Vueling being named best low cost airline of the year in 2012. I urge all those who went over the bridge this year to fly to Spain to look closely at Vueling and choose Cardiff.”
