Jet2 has unveiled an expanded Summer 2027 flight roster from Manchester, introducing two fresh destinations and bolstering capacity on established European routes. The move offers travellers more choices, flexibility, and seamless holiday planning.
From Summer 2027, Jet2 will operate exclusive flights from Manchester to Bergerac in France and to Jersey in the Channel Islands. At the same time, it will increase the number of seats on popular routes such as Crete (Heraklion) and Porto to meet rising demand.
Bergerac: A New French Gem
Bergerac, in the Dordogne region of southwestern France, becomes a fresh pick for travellers out of Manchester. The town is renowned for its medieval charm—plant your feet on cobbled streets, discover timber-framed houses, and visit hilltop castles. Its proximity to the Dordogne valley makes it ideal for exploring vineyards, wine tasting, and indulging in fine local cuisine. For those seeking a relaxed holiday steeped in culture, Bergerac delivers.
Jersey: Sun, Sea, and Simplicity
Jersey joins the network as a direct, easy-to-reach summer destination. As the largest of the Channel Islands, it boasts mild climates, golden beaches, scenic headlands, and charming villages. Tourists can walk coastal trails, relax in hidden coves, or visit historical forts and museums. Because Jersey lies outside the European Union’s travel zone, UK travellers avoid some of the complications of EU entry rules—making it a convenient yet exotic getaway.
More Seats to Beloved Destinations
To complement the new services, Jet2 will scale up flights to holiday favourites. Crete remains a top draw, thanks to its sunlit beaches, ancient ruins, and vibrant local culture. Porto appeals with riverside charm, port wine history, and a compact, walkable city centre. By offering more seat capacity, Jet2 ensures greater flexibility for holidaymakers selecting flight dates and accommodations.
Manchester’s Growing Reach
With these additions, Jet2’s route map from Manchester will encompass 59 destinations across Europe. From Spain’s Balearic and Canary Islands to Greece, Italy, Croatia, Portugal, Bulgaria, France, and Morocco, the network offers a rich tapestry of holiday types—sun, culture, beach, city breaks, and countryside retreats.
Booking & Pricing Strategy
Bookings for Summer 2027 are now open. A modest deposit of £60 per person locks in a reservation, enabling travellers to secure preferred dates and routes early. This approach aims to reduce last-minute stress and guarantee more choices, especially on new or popular services.
The launch of Bergerac and Jersey routes signals Jet2’s strategy to blend tried-and-true destinations with fresh additions suited to varied travel tastes. Some travellers might be drawn to strolling historic lanes in Bergerac, sampling fine wines, or immersing themselves in Dordogne countryside life. Others may opt to soak up Jersey’s coastline and mild climate or combine that with inland hikes and heritage sites.
Summer 2027: A Season of Choice
The new programming promises a season rich in options. Families can opt for sunny beach holidays, while couples might explore gastronomic escapes. Solo travellers or small groups can choose offbeat routes for deeper cultural engagement. Jet2’s expanded service from Manchester gives passengers more freedom to pair their ideal destination, duration, and travel experience.
By combining fresh routes with capacity increases on in-demand services, Jet2 offers Manchester flyers unmatched variety. Whether your summer includes meandering through Bergerac’s lanes, lounging on Jersey’s sands, or exploring the charms of Crete or Porto, the airline’s new plan caters to diverse travel styles.
Jet2 encourages early booking to secure best-value dates and routes. With its growing Manchester network, the airline aims to deliver convenience, flexibility, and memorable European escapes for Summer 2027.
