Thomson Airways launches weekly flights to Aruba

This summer, fly direct to an action-packed family break on the sun-kissed Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba with Thomson Airways first ever weekly charter from London Gatwick. The new weekly flights commence on May 6, 2009 replacing the previous fortnightly service and are available to book through both Thomson and First Choice Holidays.

Young ones can chase multi-coloured butterflies at the Aruba Butterfly Farm, pet inquisitive donkeys at the island’s sanctuary or learn swim in the shallow warm waters of the sheltered Baby Beach.

Keep restless teenagers entertained on and under the water with kite-surfing lessons, an adventurous SeaTrek along the ocean floor, and Snuba – a cross between snorkeling and scuba diving - to see the WWII German ship wreck, Antilla.

Kids of all ages can then get wet and wild at the new Morgan’s Island water park, the largest in the Caribbean, before heading off road through the rugged desert landscape on a jeep safari or on horse-back to gold mine ruins and stunning natural bridges.

First Choice Holidays offers a seven-night holiday in Aruba, staying all-inclusive at the Divi Aruba from £1,029 per adult, from £675 for the first child and from £900 for the second child, based on two adults and two children sharing and departing from London Gatwick on the 1 July, 2009.
