Holidaymakers can plan ahead for summer 2027

Jet2 has unveiled three brand new holiday routes for next summer, giving travellers from Bournemouth and Edinburgh airports even more sunshine options to look forward to.

The airline announced it is launching flights to Reus from Bournemouth, while Edinburgh gets connections to both Crete (Chania) and Pula in Croatia.


All three routes are exclusive to Jet2 from these airports. The move comes as customers are keen to lock in their summer plans well ahead of time, knowing that the best accommodation tends to get snapped up quickly.

From Bournemouth, sun-seekers can jet off to Reus every Sunday from May 2 through to October 31, 2027.

It is the perfect gateway to Spain's Costa Dorada, where gorgeous beaches meet Catalan charm. Holidaymakers can explore popular spots like Salou, Cap Salou and La Pineda – all within easy reach.

Spain remains a firm favourite with British travellers, and this new route opens up a whole new stretch of coastline for those in the south. With this addition, Jet2 now flies to 18 destinations from Bournemouth Airport for Summer 2027, giving locals plenty of choice when planning their getaway.

Scottish holidaymakers are in for a treat with two fresh destinations from Edinburgh Airport. Flights to Crete (Chania) take off every Wednesday from May 5 to October 27, 2027, marking the first time travellers can fly directly into the island's second largest city from Scotland.

It's a gateway to Crete's western coast, with its charming villages, natural beauty and sandy beaches – plus popular resorts like Malia and Hersonissos are on offer.

Meanwhile, Pula in Croatia launches with Sunday services from May 2 to October 17, 2027, bringing Roman history, stunning coastline and Italian-influenced culture within reach.

This brings Edinburgh's summer total to 40 destinations. CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, Steve Heapy, said: "There are many holidaymakers wanting to get that sunshine locked into their diaries for Summer 2027, with our flights and holidays from both Bournemouth and Edinburgh Airports proving particularly popular.

"In response to demand from those customers wanting to book early, who know that the best rooms in the best hotels in the best resorts get booked up, we are delighted to be putting three new destinations on sale from across these airports.

"We are also seeing families booking early and wanting to book that summer sun in advance, so they can take advantage of family-friendly touches such as interconnecting rooms. Reus, Crete (Chania) and Pula are magical destinations, and we know their appeal, coupled with our award-winning customer experience, will make them much sought-after from Bournemouth and Edinburgh Airports. We look forward to taking holidaymakers to these new summer hotspots."
