This Valencia route marks Wizz Air's sixth new Spanish destination for 2026, giving holidaymakers more ways to enjoy the sun.

The low-cost carrier has already revealed plans for flights from London Luton to Bilbao, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Seville, cementing its spot as a go-to option for affordable Spanish travel.

As for Valencia itself, it's easy to see why people can't resist. Sitting on Spain's southeastern coast, the city boasts gorgeous sandy beaches, delicious authentic cuisine and bags of historic charm.

Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, visitors can enjoy warm temperatures and sunshine throughout the year.

The new route forms part of Wizz Air's £12billion Customer First transformation plan, which aims to grow the airline's UK operations and link passengers with more destinations across Europe and beyond.

Managing director at Wizz Air UK, Yvonne Moynihan, said: "With Britons already thinking about how to escape the cold British winter, we're offering yet another destination that offers sunshine and mild temperatures throughout the year.

"This new route is another exciting addition to our growing connections between the UK and Spain.

"As London's low-cost airline, we're committed to giving customers affordable and accessible ways to explore new cultures and reach their favourite holiday destinations all year round."
