The Guide for Flights from England to the Airports in Sicily (cheap flight tickets)
The wonders of the Mediterranean island of Sicily, in Southern Italy, continue to attract millions of tourists from all over the world, and it continues to be one of the top holiday destinations for travelers at every season of the year. Italy is widely frequented by British tourists all year round and Sicily remains one of the top choices. Its ancient mystique and diverse cultural infusion of influences deriving from Greek, Roman, Spanish, Arabic and Anglo-Saxon/Norman Gothic elements, its majestic coastal views and Ionian archipelago dotted with Greco-Roman Temples, amphitheaters, Cathedrals and Arabesque buildings decorated in Byzantine style render testimony to its unique position as the jewel of the Mediterranean.
These treasures include the beautiful and varied Sicilian villas and B&Bs which have retained the unique flavor of Sicily’s cross-cultural heritage, restored in authentic Doric, Baroque Byzantine and Arabic fashion (for suggestions on the best deals to find a holiday apartment or villa for rent at affordable prices -accessorized with luxuries such as gardens and swimming pools- wishsicily is one of the top rated resources and offers a wide selection of choices).
Being the biggest and busiest international airport in the United Kingdom, London’s Heathrow is the choice starting route when leaving from London. Deals on the cheapest tickets for flights to Sicily from London’s Heathrow to Palermo’s Punta Raisi Airport can be found at tripadvisor, with much better rates than expedia- starting at E 168 with Alitalia, going up to E 177-182 (same rates apply through affiliates like Vayama, while Bravofly and Expedia are more costly).
For flights from Manchester Int’l Airport to Punta Raisi there are great packages on tripadvisor and Bravofly that start at E335 for 2 stops with Alitalia, and also with KLM from E357-E362 (offered also by Volo24 although Airfinder and Expedia go up to E 403).
Expedia is however regaining exposure thanks to its interesting packages offered year-round, which include the flight and a 7 night Hotel stay (Hotel Porta Felice, Palermo)for 986 EUR (price discount of E 653, from a total of E 1,653 when ticket and hotel are purchased separately). The main problem is that these are limited time offers that expire within days or hours so it is wise to book in advance.
