Jet2 is set to launch six new flights from a major UK airport. The package deal giant has "listened to its customers" and put on more routes to snow-loving Brits' favourite holiday destinations. All new added countries will be available for the 2025/26 season - with Jet2 announcing them early so holidaymakers can beat the rush.
They include Chambery, Geneva, Grenoble, Salzburg, Innsbruck and Turin. Extra flights will be taking of from from Birmingham Airport, who recently scrapped strict 100ml hand luggage liquid rules. New flights will give land-locked Midlanders and the rest of the country more options to depart from if they're in need of a skiing or snowboarding escape.
Holidaymakers will have access to the French, Austrian, Swiss and Italian Alps, and the Tyrolean Mountains. A Jet2 spokesperson said: "With the airline experiencing strong demand from customers wanting to secure their place on the slopes, Jet2.com has responded by putting its ski programme on sale nice and early.
BIRMINGHAM Airport has scrapped the 100ml liquid hand luggage rules starting today (June 1). The current 100ml liquid regulations were initially brought in as a temporary measure back in 2006, but have remained in place ever since. However, they are set to finally be scrapped at all UK airports in the near future, with Birmingham set to be the first among the major transport hubs to get rid of them.
London City has already ditched the rules, but they serve a relatively small four million passengers.
