Although it’s technically still summer, we’re actually looking forward to Christmas, and we can’t get enough of those cosy Christmas market vibes.
Even though we do have a world-renowned Christmas market right here in Birmingham, sometimes we just need to exit the country to get those Yuletide feels, and now Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks have released details of their biggest and best Christmas market flights programme ever.
Customers and independent travel agents are now able to book festive flights and trips for winter 25/26 to hit some of Europe’s best Christmas market examples, from all 12 of their UK airports for the very first time, including from Birmingham.
In response to strong demand for Christmas Market getaways, the airline has launched their largest Christmas markets programme to date, with eight new Christmas market routes and scheduled services and trips on sale for the first time from new UK airport base Bournemouth Airport, too.
Eight popular Christmas market destinations are on sale for winter 25/26 with Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks: Berlin, Budapest, Cologne, Copenhagen, Gdansk, Krakow, Prague and Vienna. With over 250,000 seats on sale, Jet2 is expecting huge demand from customers booking a Christmas market break in a magical winter wonderland.
The significantly expanded programme features 50 Christmas Market routes in total, eight of which are new routes, which are as follows:
- Belfast International to Vienna

As well as the new routes, Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks are also offering additional capacity to other popular festive favourites from Birmingham and Manchester Airports in winter 25/26.
