Bmibaby has announced that from the 2009 winter season it will offer new flights to the city of Prague from East Midlands Airport.

The Czech capital city of Prague has proved highly popular for city breaks from the UK in recent years, due to low prices and its art and culture.

Bmibaby will be offering flights three times a week on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays commencing on the 4th December and will run until 26th March 2010.

Julian Carr, Commercial Director at bmibaby, said that these new flights would offer travellers from the UK more opportunities to visit the world famous Christmas markets in Prague on city breaks.

He added:

“In addition to the three flights [a] week, we will be adding extra services for the two-week period over Christmas and new year to allow people from the East Midlands to enjoy the traditional Christmas festivities in Prague. For those looking to do something different for New Year’s Eve, the Czech capital has a host of events taking place that are sure to be very popular.”

This now brings the total of destinations being run by Bmibaby from East Midlands Airport to a grand total of 16 destinations. Other places ideal for city breaks from East Midlands Airport with bmibaby include Nice, Paris and Malaga.

Those considering holiday deals for 2010 will be pleased to hear that the airlines are starting to offer their flights already.

The first low cost airline to set up its 2010 flight schedule already is bmibaby, the low cost subsidiary to bmi.

Holidays to Malaga are among those holiday deals on offer. Malaga is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Spain with British holidaymakers along with other places in Portugal and Spain such as Faro, Alicante, Palma and city breaks to Barcelona.

Earlier this week, the Spanish tourist board acknowledged that it is increasing its promotional campaign in Britain as 90 per cent of visitors to the country from Britain in 2008 said they had visited already. Spain is now seen as a ‘home from home’ for most Brits as they are so familiar with the country.

Early bookings are already being taken for flights from airports such as Manchester, Cardiff, Birmingham and East Midlands for the 2010 summer season and the Easter holiday period.

Other destinations being offered already for Easter include Paris, Prague and Amsterdam.

Only last month, bmibaby announced it would be offering a new route from Manchester to Faro in the Algarve.

With cheap holidays to Malaga, Barcelona and other cities throughout Spain, British holidaymakers see Spain as their “home from home” according to the national tourist board for the country.

A representative from the London based Spanish tourist office, Carmen Hernandez, confirmed that Spain’s promotion budget in the UK has increased over the last few years whilst it focuses on attracting more visitors to such cities.

The latest promotional campaigns focus upon the feedback they have received from British people on holiday in Spain.

Ms Hernandez said:

“We want to emphasise the idea of how Spain is a home from home for British tourists. Almost 90% of Britons who travelled to Spain in 2008 had already been there on holiday before. The links between both countries are undeniable and strong. [Britons] feel safe and secure there and they know they can communicate easily with people, drive on safe road[s] and get the best healthcare if they need it.”

Popular cheap holidays in Malaga, Alicante, Barcelona and others places in Spain are not only available cheaply but as last minute holidays too from a variety of airlines and airports, making Spain easily accessible for everyone.

UK holiday makers who love the sun, sea and sand would do well to head for Spain or Portugal earlier in the summer season this year in order to beat the rush of holiday makers over the school summer holidays.

After a review from bmibaby, the airline suggest that the best months to head for the traditional annual holiday hotspots are May and June when the atmosphere is more peaceful and the weather is warm enough to enjoy a great beach holiday.

Some of the most visited holiday cities in the summer are Majorca and Menorca, part of the Balearic Islands. Much of the popularity of these islands is the many beaches that they have to offer.

Malaga is also top of the charts as one of the most popular UK holiday destinations, particularly because it has so much to offer for water sport enthusiasts. Holiday makers who prefer mainland Spain are also treated to some great beaches and two of the most visited each year are; Playa de la Albufereta in Alicante and Playa del Postiguet.

Some of the best beaches in Europe can be found in Portugal’s Algarve along with some fantastic luxury retreats that draw holiday makers regularly including Ilha da Barreta and Ilha da Culatra.

The regional airline, Flybe have just announced that holiday bookings for Easter are “on track for a busy Easter” this year and passengers looking for city breaks abroad is expected to increase their ticket sales by 8% over this holiday period alone.

One of the busiest days for the airline will be Good Friday (10th April) it is the most popular day for outward travel and the airline’s load factors are anticipated to be over 90% on certain flights.

Flights to and from Belfast airport, Scotland’s Highlands and the Channel Islands are already experiencing a huge demand as many people have already planned city break trips to visit family and friends.

The services that have proven popular over Easter are flights from Southampton to Belfast City, Birmingham to Hamburg and Malaga, and Manchester to Hannover.

Flybe’s CEO, Mike Rutter said:

“With just days to go, we’re forecasting a bumper Easter weekend and also experiencing a higher than average rate of last minute bookings. Domestic travel has proved to be the most popular for families looking to get together over the long weekend. Travelling direct from regional airports is a far more convenient option for families, as it allows them to avoid the heavily congested roads.”

The exuberant annual fair in Malaga, which attracts local people and a few lucky holiday makers (who find out about this little known but major Spanish event), will take place in August this year and is another week long street party with fino (sherry) and flamenco!

The fair celebrations are in memory of the conquest of cities Isabella and Ferdinand during 1487.

The castanet fiesta begins with a huge and elaborate firework display in the central park, which can be seen in the skies all over Malaga. Views from Malaga port are the best for the display.

During the festival there is plenty of dancing, drinking and locals in traditional costume line the streets and the atmosphere is light, fun and friendly. The traditional dance known as Sevillanas is seen everywhere as the locals click their fingers and stomp their feet; dancing in the streets is spontaneous and joyous.

Most of the festivities are located around Marques de Larios where the area is decorated with flags and paper lanterns and the transport is changed from cars to horses during the festival.

For the locals in particular, this event is of utmost historical importance and is more than just a local holiday for the Spanish. There are so many celebrations and colourful events taking place during the festival and the atmosphere is one you will rarely ever experience with a truly happy feeling of community and friendship.
