How to Get to Guernsey
Flying to Guernsey couldn't be easier, with flights from 17 airports across the UK, plus more options from Europe. Guernsey Airport is small and easily escapable and so you can be relaxing with a drink at your self-catering holiday home in little over an hour or two after departing the UK!
Should you wish to travel by sea, Condor Ferries operate a fast ferry service from Poole that takes 3 hours. The conventional ferry service by Condor operates from Portsmouth - but can take over 6 hours. Arriving from France on the Condor is via Saint-Malo - or alternatively Manches Iles Express provides a ferry service from Dielette, Carteret and Granville.
