Jet2 is launching six new ski holiday routes from Birmingham Airport

With the weather we’re having here in the UK (which is set to take a turn for the worse this week), most of us are probably longing for sunny escapes to blonde beaches, swimming in crystal clear waters. Surely the last thing you want right now is to book a trip somewhere cold and snowy?

If snow and slopes are really what you’re after, listen up. Jet2 has just announced that it is launching new budget flights to six top ski destinations. The flights won’t actually take to the skies until the 2025/26 season, but Jet2 has revealed them now so keen holidaymakers can plan well in advance.

So, without further ado… next winter you will be able to fly from Birmingham Airport to Chambery and Grenoble in France, Geneva in Switzerland, Salzburg and Innsbruck in Austria and Turin in Italy. They will start taking off from December 2025.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “Customer feedback is that they want to book early and secure their place on the slopes for next winter.

“We’re always listening to our customers and responding to what they tell us, so we’ve put a fantastic ski program on sale for the winter 25/26 from Birmingham Airport.”

More new flights

We’re spoiled for choice when it comes to jet-setting in the UK. And the options are only growing. Last month Jet2 also launched new routes to a Norwegian city and new affordable flights from Edinburgh to New York were announced. There are returning direct flights from the UK to this beautiful Caribbean island and a brand new budget airline that will get you to Europe for less. In addition, you can now fly to Jordan from London or Manchester, get direct routes to the Amalfi Coast or take new budget flights to Munich.
