Guernsey airport

Besides touristic viewcards, I really have a weakness for airport related postcards. And receiving an airport card of Guernsey is definitely awesome in my book!

Guernsey Airport (GCI) in the Channel Islands is an important link for holidaymakers from the UK and France. It's small but busy, servicing nearly one million passengers every year. A mix of charter and regularly scheduled flights lands on a regular basis, some hailing from as far away as Germany and Switzerland.

Other Guernsey Airport essentials include facilities for families with children, left luggage offices and car hire counters. Several retail and duty-free outlets await shoppers, and there are restaurants and coffee shops on both sides of security. The airport bar has a great view of the runway.This modern facility continues to grow and has more than enough facilities to meet its annual load. It includes all of life's essentials for the everyday traveller, including ATMs and postal facilities. Business facilities exist in the airport as well as in a nearby hotel. Both offer large conference rooms and a range of related services.

Transportation to and from the airport is accomplished largely by bus and taxi, as there's no rail service to the terminal. Anyone with a car at their disposal will find the island is easily navigated, and Guernsey Airport accommodates drivers with short- and long-term parking options.

Guernsey

My first postcard from Guernsey and how awesome this aerial view is! 

At times being in Guernsey is like falling into a giant flowerbox - everything's in bloom. With a subtropical feel, the highly picturesque capital, St Peter Port, has narrow cobblestone streets winding up and down steep hills to the water's edge, where rafts of colourful yachts pack the harbours. A little further out, a seafront rash of development has left its mark, and many locals worry that the island's character is being eroded. But Guernsey's chief appeal - its knack of conjuring halcyon days from green lanes and coastal fringes, where hiking the cliffs reveals dramatic scenery and gentle crescents of beach - remains.
