16 Apr 2012 17:26:Yes, EMA is a bit further for us too, we're in Mirfield, and its 1 hr 15 mins, so Leeds is definately the first choice. However, if you go into Almeria as opposed to Murcia you avoid the toll charge down to Vera Playa which last week had gone up to €11.90 each way. Plus the EMA flights on Sat are day time which is always more pleasant than those late night RA ones. Especially if there is a delay as you know Murcia closes at night so have to be diverted to or from Alicante.
Earlier this year RA were also advertising Liverpool to Almeria but those seem to have disappeared now. Maybe they will come back later!
And why on earth Monarch cancelled the Manchester to Almeria route I will never know as the flights were always pretty well booked.
