Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have officially launched their Winter Sun 2026/27 programme — and it’s being hailed as their biggest ever.
For customers and travel agents alike, the programme brings exciting news: more seats, more destinations, and more choice across the UK. With 4.4 million seats now on sale, representing a 4% capacity increase over Winter 2025/26, the tour operator is responding directly to the growing appetite among British holidaymakers for winter sunshine escapes.
The expanded schedule includes two brand-new winter routes:
✈️ Bournemouth to Malaga
✈️ London Luton to Palma
Additionally, the programme features significant growth across key destinations in Morocco, Malta, and Madeira, cementing Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ position as a leading choice for winter sun breaks.
An Unprecedented Choice of Destinations
Flights and holidays are now on sale from 13 UK airport bases: Belfast International, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool John Lennon, London Stansted, London Luton, Manchester and Newcastle International.
In total, 14 Winter Sun destinations feature within the network, with some airports offering the full range of routes.
Over the coming weeks, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will also unveil details of their Winter 2026/27 Ski, City Breaks, and Iceland programmes — giving even more options for winter travel.
CEO Steve Heapy commented:
“We are seeing continued demand from customers wanting to escape the long British winter, so we have stepped in and put our Winter 26/27 programme on sale from all 13 of our UK airport bases. We are pleased to be offering our biggest and most exciting Winter Sun programme ever, giving customers and independent travel agents even more choice and flexibility for next winter.”
