Vueling announces more Easter flights from Cardiff to Barcelona
Published: 21 February 2012
Vueling, Spain’s leading low fare airline, has announced additional capacity on its Cardiff-Barcelona route for the Easter period.
In addition to its three times weekly service (Tues, Thurs, Sat) which will commence from 27th March, Vueling will also operate an extra flight on Good Friday, 6th April and another on Easter Monday, 9th April, enabling passengers to take advantage of the extended break.
Last month Vueling announced it was bolstering its destinations from Cardiff Airport this summer with the addition of two new destinations, Alicante and Palma, Mallorca with three times weekly scheduled services operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
The Cardiff-Barcelona flights are Vueling’s first direct service from the UK to the airline’s home base. The additional April flights make Barcelona the ideal destination for an Easter short break. Renowned for its cultural and gastronomic delights, Barcelona, the capital of Spain’s Catalunya is one of Europe’s most popular city break destinations with cultural spectacles varying from Gaudi’s architecture including the as yet unfinished legendary Sagrada Familia, to Montjuic which hosts the world’s leading Miró Museum. Travellers can sample the culinary delights at the Boqueria market and Ferran Adrià inspired restaurants. For night owls, el Born neighbourhood offers everything from cool restaurants, to chic nightclubs, whilst the Ramblas provides authentic bar experiences.
From 24th June the Cardiff-Barcelona schedule will alter to Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays to accommodate the increasing interest in the Barcelona cruise market. All services will be operated by 150-seat Airbus A319 aircraft.
Vueling flights offer a wealth of onward connections available via Vueling’s successful Barcelona Hub operations, currently accessing more than 40 destinations in Europe and North-Africa, such as the Greek Islands, Malaga or Ibiza with full baggage through check-in from Cardiff Airport to final destination.
Fares for the Cardiff-Barcelona route will start from approximately £26 (30€) and tickets are available to book via www.vueling.com, travel agents, both Vueling’s iPhone and Android applications, mobile portal m.vueling.com, and call centre UK number 0906 754 7541.
