Blue1 will launch three new summer destinations for Finnish travellers: Edinburgh, Marseille-Provence and Pula. All three destinations will be available for Finnish holidaymakers as direct scheduled flights, which will begin in April–May 2011.
As Blue1 strengthens its business travel products, its leisure travel offering will also continue to grow. For the summer 2011, Blue1’s route map will include three new European leisure destinations. All three destinations will be operated by Blue1’s new Boeing 717 aircraft.
Edinburgh – gateway to Scotland
The lively city of Edinburgh is full of Scottish enchantment. With half a million inhabitants, Edinburgh offers inspiring city-break opportunities, as well as easy access to the whole of the North of the British Isles. The city is surrounded by imposing landscapes and an occasionally harsh natural coastline. There are many cultural and historical points of interest; not forgetting to mention the golf courses and the local delicacies to consume and enjoy.
Blue1’s scheduled service to Edinburgh (EDI) will operate on Mondays and Fridays between 29 April and 28 October 2011.
Marseille-Provence - a treasure trove of French travel
Marseille-Provence is a top travel destination in France. Featuring many globally significant attractions and an incredibly diverse natural environment—from mountains to sandy beaches—well-known names in the fields of art and culture from history to the present day, as well as its food and famous wine areas all make Marseille-Provence a memorable experience, even for the most experienced of travellers.
Blue1’s scheduled service to Marseille-Provence (MRS) will operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 31 May to 18 October 2011.
Pula – full of genuine Mediterranean charm, in the Croatian way
Blue1 commenced flights to Split and Dubrovnik in the summer 2009. Next summer, the existing Croatian destinations will be complemented with Pula. Located on the Adriatic Sea on the Istrian Peninsula, Pula is a diverse holiday destination full of Mediterranean charm. As one of the favourite destinations in Croatia, the highlights of Pula include the crystal clear Mediterranean Sea, tiny picturesque towns, centuries of multi-cultural life and a natural environment, including beaches, shaped by the mild climate.
Blue1’s scheduled service to Pula (PUY) will operate on Saturdays from 28 May to 24 September 2011.
