How do you fly?
This article from Radio Megawelle reminded me of something that I forgot to mention in my Iberia article.
Why do people take direct flights to Lanzarote? Most seem to think that a direct flight is more convenient, even cheaper. I prefer to fly via Madrid for the following reasons:
- often, as stated in the article, the normal flights are slightly cheaper
- the departure time is usually more convenient in Frankfurt
- the luggage and hand-luggage allowances are sometimes bigger
- the queues in Arrecife for the return flight are much shorter
Of course, a direct flight is quicker and you spend less time in the aeroplane as a result. But the first time I flew out I had another reason for going via Madrid – I was just plain curious to see somewhere in Spain that was new to me – even if it was the airport!
