Jet2.com has launched its Winter 2026/27 programme, putting more than 700,000 seats across 72 routes on sale for city escapes and Christmas Markets trips from the UK.

The British holiday operator's winter line‑up spans 15 European city destinations including Athens, Barcelona, Berlin, Budapest, Cologne, Copenhagen, Gdansk, Krakow, Paris, Porto, Prague, Rome, Tallinn, Vienna and Venice.

Scheduled services will operate across the winter on 36 routes, serving those ten city break destinations.

Jet2's Christmas Markets programme, meanwhile, adds another 36 options.

"Whether it is a magical city break or winter wonderland escape, we are offering something for everyone, and customers need look no further when it comes to getting away next winter," Jet2 CEO Steve Heapy said in a statement.,

For the festive period, it will operate flights and short breaks to Berlin, Budapest, Cologne, Copenhagen, Gdansk, Krakow, Prague, Tallinn and Vienna, operating from 12 UK departure airports between November 2026 and January 2027.

These include flights from Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, Bournemouth, Edinburgh, East Midlands, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, London Stansted, Manchester and Newcastle International.

Guests can book flight‑only with Jet2.com, or choose ATOL‑protected Jet2CityBreaks packages - bundling flights (including 22kg hold and 10kg cabin luggage) with 2-to-5‑star City hotel bookings.

Packages can be booked with a low £60 per person deposit, Jet2 highlighted.

With Britons seeking sunshine and city culture through the darker months, Jet2’s expanded winter schedule positions the brand to tap continued demand for short, good‑value European breaks.

Heapy added: "With Britons continuing to look to get away on their well-deserved holidays, particularly during the long British winter, we are stepping in to meet that demand by providing lots of choice and flexibility to some of the most popular city and Christmas market destinations.”
