Flights From Belfast To Fuerteventura

[kgt]

Hi,

I have been finding it really difficult to find any information on direct flights from Belfast to Fuerteventura. Companies have advert (Thomas Cook etc) but when you search it says no flights available.

Any ideas how I find out if any companies plan to have these flights available?

Thanks

The destinations map on the Belfast International Airport website shows Fuerteventura as currently served only by charter flights:

Clicking through to list of summer charter flights shows the only operator as Thomas Cook (with flights on Saturdays only):
http://book.flythomascook.com/cheap-flights/to -FuerteVentura-Spain/from-Belfast-UK/

No flights are shown from May onwards. However, it should be remembered that charter flights primarily exist to be used as part of a package holiday. It could simply be that Thomas Cook won't offer any flight-only deals on that route until nearer the departure dates, when they'll know how many spare seats are left after they've sold as many package holidays as they can. To check with Thomas Cook, phone [phone] (10p per minute, Mon-Fri 0900-1900).

There are no flights to Fuerteventura shown on the destinations map for Belfast City Airport:

PS: I've just tried searching for package holidays (in July), from Belfast to Fuerteventura, on the Thomas Cook site. Doing so confirms that there are charter flights operating on Saturdays. (Out at 0700, landing at 1115. Back at 1205, landing at 1620).

That adds credence to my theory that Thomas Cook are currently holding all seats on those flights for customers who book package holidays. Any remaining seats will then be offered as flight-only deals shortly before the departure dates.
