BEST WAY FOR SCOTS TO GET TO
HACIENDA DEL ALAMO, EASY JET
FROM GLASGOW OPTION

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Scottish lady golfers - not to mention their husbands, partners or boyfriends - who want to attend the inaugural Hacienda del Alamo Women's Winter Golf Festival (six competitions between February 10 and 23) - need not necessarily travel from Prestwick and the Ryanair schedule.
Remember, we discovered there is no Ryanair flight from Prestwick to Murcia on Saturday, February 9, which is the day you want to arrive if you want to take full advance of a free practice round over the Hacienda del Alamo course on Sunday, February 10.
I suggested that the option was to fly Ryanair from Prestwick to Murcia on Friday, February 8.
Now "Willie from Aberdeen" has come up with another option, namely fly Easy Jet from Glasgow to Alicante on a Saturday. Here is his helpful note:

"I went on travelsupermarket.com last night, entered the dates I wanted to travel. Easy Jet fly every Saturday from Glasgow to Alicante for £49.99 (including all taxes & charges) each way which I think is a great deal.
"Include £30 per head for golf clubs and £12 per head for baggage up to 20 Kilos and you are looking at £471.92 for a party of four.
"I know this is to Alicante and we have another one hour drive from there to the the Hacienda del Alamo resort but that’s not bad! Not only that you are leaving Glasgow at 4 pm and the return is slightly later at 10.50pm arrival in Glasgow the following Saturday but you’ve got the Sunday to recover.
"If you don't want to come home until either Monday, February 11 or 18, there is a Easy Jet flight from Alicante to Glasgow."
