Thomson add Cape Verde to winter flights programme
16.02.11
Thomson has announced that flights to West African hotspot of Cape Verde will be available next winter from Bristol Airport. From November 2011 to April 2012 Thomson Airways will operate a flight each Tuesday to Boa Vista, the island republic’s most popular resort.
The Cape Verde islands are in the Atlantic, over 500 miles off the West African coast. Described as the ‘new Caribbean’, Cape Verde combines Portuguese and African influences and enjoys a warm climate with winter temperatures in the mid-twenties.
Boa Vista is renowned for its white sandy beaches and, although it is the most developed of the island group, it remains relatively untouched by tourism. An added bonus is that it is in the same time zone as the UK, minimising jet lag from the 7 hour flight.
Shaun Browne, Aviation Director at Bristol Airport, said: ‘Cape Verde is an exciting new destination for those seeking some winter sun. We are confident it will prove popular with holidaymakers across the South West and Wales.’
