Today Flybe announced that they would start operating weekly flights between Jersey and Nice on the French Riviera from 24th May. Great news for Jersey residents looking for a week in Provence or hoping to break the bank of Monte Carlo, but is this of benefit to Jersey’s visitor economy?
Deputy Alan Maclean welcomed the announcement today, suggesting that “This new route opens up a number of opportunities for inbound tourism…” Not sure that many Provençales will be jumping off their sun beds on the Med. coast to spend a week in the relatively chilly Gulf of St Malo, but we'll see.
Anyway – it gives me another option for my summer holiday this year. Return fares seem to start at around £100.00 – not bad for a direct route to the sun.
Nice to see you….to see you Nice!
