Jet2 launches three new 'stunning holiday destinations' from Bristol Airport

Jet2 has launched its first flight to Bourgas in Bulgaria from Bristol Airport as part of three new destinations it is offering this summer.

The airline is also introducing flights from Bristol Airport to Costa de Almeria in Spain on May 26 and Izmir in Turkey on May 27.

The services to Bourgas, Costa de Almeria and Izmir will run on Tuesdays, Sunday and Mondays respectively, until October 8, November 3 and October 28 respectively.

A Jet2 spokesperson said: “Whether it is relaxing on Sunny Beach, enjoying an action-packed day at the waterpark or making the most of the nightlife scene, Bulgaria (Bourgas) makes the ideal summer getaway destination for all ages. The Black Sea Coast offers charming diversity between the traditional Bulgarian settings in its quaint towns paired with inviting beachfront resorts.  

“For an authentic slice of Spain, Costa de Almeria boasts unspoiled beaches, desert landscapes and mountain peaks, ideal for appreciating the natural beauty of the Southern region. This relaxed destination is perfect for sun worshippers and lovers of local cuisine seeking a laidback escape along its Blue Flag beaches and cobbled streets. 

“Situated in West Turkey along its Turquoise Coast, the exciting region of Izmir presents seaside fun at its array of picturesque harbours, powdery sands and beachfront bars. Nods to Turkey’s rich tradition are dotted around the region, with charming old town walls hosting Turkish tavernas and bustling bars as well as epic ancient ruins on the doorstep.”

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, added: “We are delighted to be waving off our first flight to Bulgaria (Bourgas) from Bristol Airport and look forward to seeing our inaugural flights to Costa de Almeria and Izmir take off from the airport base later this month too.

“The addition of these stunning holiday destinations has proven to be extremely popular with customers and independent travel agents looking for glorious sunshine alongside that authentic cultural experience.

“Bourgas, Costa de Almeria and Izmir are fantastic additions to our enormous Summer 24 programme from Bristol Airport, and it means we are extending our popular costal holiday offerings significantly for locals in the South West.

“As the UK’s largest tour operator, we are giving customers and independent travel agents unrivalled choice when it comes to enjoying a holiday from Bristol Airport this Summer 24, with award-winning customer experience on top.”
