Cheap Flights to Anglesey From Cardiff

By: David Phillips

With the new Anglesey Cardiff air link open you can get cheap flights to the island from the Welsh capital from as little as £20 ($40) one way.

Highland Airways, who operate flights to Anglesey from Cardiff, aim to attract both business and leisure travellers.

With such cheap flights now available, the company expects the new air link, supported by the Welsh Assembly Government, to open up this remote corner of Wales.

Just imagine you are planning a visit to the UK next year, you can now pencil in the beautiful island of Anglesey into your journey plan. And with a stay in Cardiff on route, you’ll get a good feel of 21st century Wales.

Why not visit the magnificent new Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay, built using Welsh slate, timber and other local materials. There is also Cardiff Castle and the Millennium Stadium, where Wales play international rugby.

Cardiff International Airport is a good 20 minute ride out from the city centre and can be reached by coach or car. With internal UK flights, it’s a breeze getting from London Heathrow or Gatwick to Cardiff.

You take off from Cardiff International and fly over the vast green of Mid Wales below. Passing the Black Mountains, Snowdonia and the Cambrian coast to the West, you will arrive at Anglesey Airport within an hour.

As you approach Anglesey you may see the Menai Straits below, which separates the island from mainland north west Wales.

Equally, if you are looking to set up business on Anglesey or need to meet established clients, the cheap flights and short flight time from Cardiff are very attractive.

So many people comment on how long a car journey takes from South Wales to Anglesey, at least four and a half hours. Now all this has changed with the twice daily flights.

You can get a cheap flight from Cardiff international at 0730 and this arrives at Anglesey Airport at 0835. There is also an afternoon flight, leaving at 1615 (1515 on Fridays) arriving on the island at 1720 (1620 on Fridays).

The Anglesey Cardiff return flight leaves at 0855 and again at 1740 (1640 on Fridays).

Remember your personal baggage allowance is 15kg on the twin-prop 18 seater plane operated by Highland Airways.

So now is your opportunity to enjoy this new route and tell others about the cheap flights to Anglesey.
