Direct flights from London to Granada for winter sports fans

BRITISH skiers are to benefit from non-stop flights to the Sierra Nevada this winter.

Starting on December 7, Hispania Airways will launch two flights per week from Gatwick to Granada, which is just 32km away from Andalucia’s famed resort.

British skiers and snowboarders make up over 61% of foreign nationals visiting the Sierra Nevada.

All passengers will be permitted up to 20kg of  luggage and are welcome to carry their ski equipment free of charge upon their flight purchase.
