British holidaymakers seeking a respite from the winter gloom can now bag remarkably cheap flights to a sun-drenched Canary Island. Ryanair is offering one-way fares to Fuerteventura for just £17 throughout February, with return journeys starting at the same low price.
Escape to February Sunshine
While the UK grapples with chilly temperatures typically ranging from 4°C to 10°C, Fuerteventura promises a far warmer climate. The island, which lies just 60 miles off the coast of Africa, enjoys average highs of around 21°C in February, with temperatures seldom falling below 13°C at night. This makes it a prime destination for those craving reliable winter sunshine without a long-haul flight.
Flight Details and Timings
According to the budget airline's website, the £17 one-way deals are available on various dates from London Stansted Airport throughout next month. Departure times vary, with flights taking off at 6.25am, 7.10am, 2.05pm, 2.10pm, 2.20pm, or 2.40pm. A key convenience for travellers is that there is no time difference between the UK and Fuerteventura, simplifying travel plans.
For the return leg, prices also start from £17. Flights back to London Stansted are scheduled for 11.15am, 12pm, 6.55pm or 7.30pm, depending on the selected travel date. Ryanair is known for offering these cut-price promotions during quieter travel periods, allowing savvy holidaymakers to secure significant bargains.
Why Choose Fuerteventura?
Fuerteventura, the second-largest of the Canary Islands, is a perennial favourite with UK tourists. It is celebrated for its year-round pleasant climate, breathtaking landscapes, and over 150 kilometres of stunning beaches featuring white sand and turquoise waters. The island's tourism board describes it as a "paradise" where visitors can enjoy vast natural scenery and experience the welcoming nature of the local community.
Beyond beach relaxation, Fuerteventura is an ideal spot for active holidays, offering excellent conditions for water sports, hiking, and exploring its unique volcanic terrain. This combination of reliable February sunshine, affordable flight options, and diverse activities presents a compelling case for a last-minute winter escape.
