Aruba is set to enjoy a boost in popularity among British travelers as a result of additional flights to the island being made available this winter. From October 30th 2011, Dutch airline KLM will increase its number of weekly services to the destination from three to five.
UK travellers planning to connect to Aruba can catch flights to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport from 15 UK Airports, including London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow. The flights will depart from Amsterdam on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays at 12:45 PM and will arrive in Aruba at 17.50 PM on the same day. The return flight will depart from Aruba on the same days at 19:10 PM, arriving in Amsterdam the next day at 11:10 AM, leaving plenty of time for connecting flights to/from the UK. Fliers will be able to choose from a range of in-flight products and services including a business class option.
Aruba Tourism Authority UK director Joanna Walding comments: "The new flights will further reinforce Aruba as one of the top 10 Caribbean destinations for British travelers. With KLM's increased service this winter, getting to Aruba is easier than ever before. With temperatures rarely dipping below 28°C, the island is the perfect destination for some winter sun."
People planning a trip to the island can also fly with British Airways via the US, while TUI flies directly to the destination from the UK between the months of May and October.
