New routes to Portugal

DIRECT Holidays’ programme for summer 2011 has 17 destinations on offer and three new routes from Cork. Prices start from €299 per person to the Algarve, while a family of four can enjoy 4-star luxury on the Costa Dorada next July for about €1,900 from any of the three main airports.

Free child, teenagers and grandparent places abound across the wide selection of properties, as do all-inclusive offerings which include meals, drinks and entertainment in certain cases.

Destinations direct from Cork have been expanded to eight with Crete, Egypt and Gran Canaria on offer for the first time. Destinations from Shannon include Lanzarote, Majorca, Costa Dorada (Salou) and the Algarve, which is also bookable direct from Knock.
