Flying to Corsica – one of our favourite spots in the Med – is getting easier. EasyJet had planned to add new Sunday departures to Bastia in the north of the island from Manchester and Bristol in August. But it has brought forward the new flights to May 24.
EasyJet already operates two flights every Sunday from Gatwick to both Bastia and Ajaccio in the south west of Corsica during the summer season.
One-way fares to Bastia cost from £23 to £70 (Bristol) and £17 to £50 (Manchester), a considerable saving on some of the charter fares available.
If Gatwick, Bristol or Manchester are not convenient, Claire Hall of directCorsica recommends comparing fares from other regional airports via easyJet’s Geneva hub, or Paris Charles de Gaulle. With daily departures, she reckons it can be cheaper and more convenient than the charters from Gatwick and Manchester.
If you prefer not to fly, you can reach Corsica by Eurostar to Paris, a TGV to Nice and the fast ferry across to Calvi or Ajaccio. Alternatively, drive to Marseilles and take a car ferry to Propriano or Ile Rousse.
