Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks have unveiled a major boost to their festive travel offerings for Winter 2026/2027, with more Christmas market options.
The leisure airline and city breaks operator has put four brand-new routes on sale, taking travellers to Cologne, Copenhagen, Gdansk and Tallinn.
These fresh destinations will fly from Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands and Leeds Bradford airports.
The move adds more than 30,000 extra seats to the programme, bringing the total number of Christmas market routes to 60. It's a direct response to the huge appetite Britons have shown for European festive getaways.
