New short break destinations with Ryanair
Welcome to my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Budget carrier Ryanair has introduced 50 new routes for 2008. From my perspective there’s nothing of great interest at my 2 nearest airports, Newcastle and Edinburgh. No new flights from Newcastle. There are 5 new Ryanair destinations from Edinburgh but only 2 that aren’t already served by other carriers, Bremen in Germany and Marseilles in France. Pisa, Frankfurt and Alicante are the other new destinations.
Bremen, which lies south west of Hamburg does look like a possible short break destination and could be used to access Hamburg, which I’ve been told is a very beautiful city.

Bezier in south west France is a new destination from Bristol. I visited Bezier briefly a few years ago and it’s a really pretty town.
Pau is another beautiful destination in south west France now available from Bristol. I also visited it, all too briefly, whcn in that region. I hadn’t heard of Pau but was glad we visited as it is a grand old city. It was as I imagined Biarritz must be, but without the sea. There was a castle/museum and a funicular down to the lower town. I discovered that Pau was a fashionable resort in the 1870s, after a Scottish doctor, Taylor, wrote a book claiming that the fresh mountain air could improve health. However in the 1890s, Biarritz became the ‘in’ place.

If l lived near Bristol I’d definetly fly to Bezier and Pau to spend more time exploring these towns.
