Do you fancy leaving behind the unpredictable English weather and jetting off to sunnier climes?  Well, you’re in luck.   easyJet is offering outstanding deals on flights from Bristol Airport to the sunny Algarve this summer, making it hard to resist a getaway to the sandy beaches of southern Portugal.

Faro, the Algarve’s capital, offers something for almost everyone.  The old part of the city is still surrounded by Roman walls, and there are also plenty of shops and restaurants to explore.  Of course, if relaxing in the sun is more to your liking, you can make the short trip to Albufeira and laze about on the sand to your heart’s content.  If you’re a golfer, you’ll enjoy choosing from many top-quality courses like Castro Marim Golf, which is situated on rolling hills close to the border with Spain.

To make the deal even sweeter, you can also get one week’s parking at Bristol Silver Zone parking from just £35.99 in August*, meaning you can realise even more savings and concentrate on chilling out and having fun instead of worrying about costs.

* 1 week’s Bristol Airport parking commencing 05/08/09. Price subject to change.

Three major UK airlines have warned BAA that a £900 million improvement scheme for Gatwick Airport is futile in the face of dwindling passenger numbers.

BAA's £900m plan deemed "pointless" by airlines

Guardian.co.uk reports that, in a letter sent to BAA, British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair said that the business case for funnelling hundreds of millions of pounds into new facilities was “unproven”, especially in light of a fall in traffic of 12% since the start of this year.  The letter went on to state that it was pointless to make decisions about future developments at Gatwick when the airport is due to be sold in the near future.  The airlines are also very concerned that they will be the ones stuck with the bill for any improvements, and will ultimately have to pass on the cost to passengers by increasing fares.

We at GoSimply.com might not have control over the cost of flights, but we can assure our customers that we will always provide great deals on Gatwick Airport parking (and parking at 23 other UK airports) to help keep the cost of holidays down.
