Hi, has anyone heard anything about the proposed travel corridor between the uk and Alicante-Elche? I saw a bit about it on the news but nothing anywhere else?

Maybe you mean this story:

Bit of a headline grabber. I can't see how it could work by singling out particular areas.

I think it's just for the islands.  See photo also I watched bbc1 news and it's on there too

How could such a thing work when Benidorm does not have its own airport?   Also, Benidorm has more of a problem than many more parts of the Costa Blanca.   It is just the mayor or Benidorm attempting to grab some headlines.

Can’t possibly work how would you track people once landed at Alicante? How would you know if they are going to Benidorm or not. But then again if the sun are reporting this then it must be true 😂
