Once again I came across this news bulletin from Murcia Today.
This time I wonder if Corvera is not actually fulfilling its promises or are the charges too steep for the bucket-flights? Reading between the lines, it looks like a bit of this and some of the other.
Anyway, this headline caught my attention: Corvera airport lost over 69,000 passengers in first months of operation. Frightening thoughts went through my head like “don’t do this to us again, please don’t go bust for a second time”. The so-called international airport is mostly servicing flights to-and-from the UK.
If you are going to my flat check this out.

I was checking up on RMU (Murcia’s International Airport) especially who was flying to RMU and from which London Airport:
Gatwick (LGW) | Easy Jet & Ryanair |
Heathrow (LHR) | British Airways & Ryanair |
London City (LCY) | no direct flights |
Luton (LTN) | Ryanair |
Southend (SEN) | Easy Jet (2days only) |
Stanstead (STN) | Ryanair |
My main reason for this survey was that I had heard rumours about Ryanair NOT flying to RMU and that they had switched their passengers from RMU to Alicante, wow that would be an expensive switch if you had a car-hire lined up in RMU. I definitely wouldn’t be happy.
After having looked a flight schedules it looks like Ryanair, after the changeover from San Javier to Corvera have got their act together and are now flying on a regular basis to RMU.
I have added the following list of cheep flight to-and-from UK airports
to Alicante (ALC) and Corvera (RMU)
Ryanair fly’s | |

It looks like Murcia (San Javier) Airport is closing and the new Murcia (Corvera) Airport is opening – approx. December 2018. Finally!

I have just finished my setting-up a TripAdvisor page for my flat. It will property take another 48 hours to actually be on the web-site. Here is a quick front-page pre-view:
I am also not sure if one can search for the ID number or if one has to search for the title; but Take a look.

So much has happened since I last placed a post.
Novasol – my letting agent – suddenly, without warning downgraded me from 4 to 3 Star.
It just didn’t make sense; but I had too much on my plate to consider a trip to Spain to sort it out.
Novasol had contacted me stating that they couldn’t get hold of my key-holder, I tried but couldn’t either.
The lodger in February was NOT happy with the cleanliness of the flat!
This was now the second time I had been informed of said.
Also, when I was there at the end of 2017 I had noticed that the flat was NOT spick and span.
I did tell the key-holder that anything that could shine MUST shine, and the place should smell clean
– use furnishers spray to dust with, and air the flat for atleast day before any lodgers take over.
Anyway, I had told the key-holder that I was coming with a friend for 10 days.
We spend the 10 days cleaning the flat. Grrrr. It really was filthy.
The key-holder had put me in touch with a decorator, who decorated/repainted – the whole flat from top to bottom,
incl. stripping the metal railings and re-paint them. Make good any damage to any of the walls.
And of course, clean the flat afterward.
I had arrived home when I remember that he should also check the air-cons and get them serviced if needed.
Guess what? They needed servicing.
I also got him to install a air-went in the bath-room.
All this happen prior to the next 2 lots of lodgers.
And that was very lucky because of the temperatures during their stay.
I purchased, one and a half years ago, a second-hand fridge freezer for €100 plus delivery. It died, and my poor lodgers have been without a fridge-freezer in this heat.
I feel for them, especially as they were returning guests. However they were very understanding, and as my caretaker had lost his wife and so of course couldn’t concentrate 100% on them I have offered that they don’t have to pay for the utilities during their stay. I feel that’s the least I can do to show some goodwill. My caretaker has now replaced the fridge-freezer with a brand new one. Many thanks to him.
I have had and still have a great season, thanks to Novasol, my letting agent. It has been the best move I have made toward renting out the flat. This year it has been rented out all of June, July and August bar 1 week. And it’s even occupied for 3 weeks in November. Not at all bad, at least it is now paying for itself.
I was tidying up my background database in readiness for 2017 and when I looked at the booking from 2016 I was so pleasantly surprised to see that there had been 118 days booked by my letting agent, many, many thanks.
So I entered the calendar for 2017 and moved all the pre-bookings and was even more surprised as there is already 110 days booked (28 of which is from my friend in Sweden).
I have also released 2 new guides, one in English and one in Danish, of how to get to the flat from Alicate and Murcia airport.
