Hi Mitico67,
Sorry have not seen you post earlier.
With regards to the flights:
The duration of UK direct flights to Isla Margarita Porlamar airport are approximately 9 and half hours from Gatwick (every other Wednesday) and Manchester (every second Thursday) with First Choice.
Packages can be purchased to stay in any of the following destinations: Pampatar, Playa Puerto Cruz, Playa El Agua, Porlamar, Playa Caribe, Playa Tirano, Playa El Humo.
One may find bargain flights from holidaywarehouse.co.uk with Air 2000.
Prices vary usually from £300 to £800 but some low cost carriers are already flying to other Caribbean destinations for £99 single so it shouldn’t be long before these prices are also charged for Margarita Island routes.
Alternatively one can book a regular flight (with Air France, Iberia, Alitalia, Conviasa, Air Europa, Condor, KLM, Lufthansa and TAP Portugal) to Caracas from any major city and then connect to Isla Margarita with one of the many daily shuttle flights lasting 35 minutes. Flights are available from North America with American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Aeropostal, Continental Airlines and Air Canada.
Tourists are predominantely from Venesuela, Canada, the USA, Germany, some Eastern European countries, the UK.
Just be careful how your pay for your property in Margarita and make sure you have a good solicitor. Our website has a very extensive FAQ section.
As to the comment on ex-propriation, so far it did not happen in Margarita and very slim chance of it hapenning. What about the compusory purchase in the UK?
