The new Anglesey Cardiff air link is proving really popular as you can get cheap flights to the island from the Welsh capital from as little as $40 one way.

Highland Airways, who operate twice daily, weekday flights between RAF Valley airport on Anglesey and Cardiff International Airport, are attracting both business and leisure travellers.

With such cheap flights now available, the company has reported passenger number growth in excess of the forecast figures, and this new north south air link, supported by the Welsh Assembly Government, is opening 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 recently completed their second Six Nations Grand Slam rugby triumph in 3 years.

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 considering establishing a business on Anglesey or need to meet clients, these cheap flights and the short flight time from Cardiff are very attractive indeed.

Many people comment on the long road journey between South and North Wales, at least four and a half hours. Now all this has changed with these 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.

Now it is your opportunity to experience this new route and tell others about these cheap flights to the isle of Anglesey.

Where can I find a cheap flight from Warsaw to Bratislava or Vienna?
I know there are cheap airlines in Europe. I have to get to Vienna from Warsaw. A train ticket costs over 100$ and the trip is 9 hours by train. I was wondering if there are flights cheaper than that either to Bratislava or Vienna.

Thanks
