THE arrival of Emirates to the Irish market has been greeted enthusiastically, with impressive bookings from the start date of January 9 on the Dublin-Dubai service. Passengers will be able to connect from Dubai to more than 100 onward destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australasia.
TOPFLIGHT has just launched a new service for its clients — fully catered chalets in La Plagne or Les Arcs from €595, with free wi fi. Topflight charter flights operate from Dublin to Geneva and deals include transfer to and from La Plagne and Les Arcs. Call 01-2401700, visit www.topflight.ie or any travel agent.
IT mightn’t be quite as warm as the Canaries, but it won’t be cold, and Malta has plenty of New Year deals on offer this January and beyond. Examples are through travel companies Mercury Direct and Bellair, but creating individual packages is possible by visiting www.visitmalta.com and www.ryanair.com.
CRUISE Holidays, a subsidiary of Tour America, has launched a new no-fly cruise option with coach/ferry transfers to Southampton cruise port to begin a 10-night Fjords Cruise. Prices from €1,279 per person. Go to www.touramerica.ie/www.cruiseholidays.ie or call on 01-8173500, or 021-2429555.
THE New Year is usually accompanied by a list of well-intentioned resolutions, such as to get fitter. So think about Footfalls’ Sunrise Walk through Laragh, Co Wicklow, starting at 6.15am. This New Year’s Day walk starts at 8.41am, €30 including breakfast. Details and online booking at www.walkinghikingireland.com
