- Leading leisure airline and UK’s leading operator of European city breaks put brand-new Christmas market route on sale to Gdansk
- Expansion means more than 25,000 seats on sale to some of Europe’s best Christmas market destinations and comes in response to continued demand for festive breaks
Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks have expanded their Christmas Markets programme for Winter 2026/2027 from East Midlands Airport, by putting a brand-new route on sale to Gdansk.
In response to continued demand for their enormously popular Christmas Markets programme, the leading leisure airline and UK’s leading operator of European city breaks will operate flights and city breaks to Gdansk from East Midlands Airport for the first time next winter.
Two new weekly services (Monday and Friday) will operate to the Polish city from 27th November to 21st December 2026, giving customers and independent travel agents even more choice and flexibility when it comes to booking trips to magical winter wonderlands all around Europe and giving themselves something to look forward to next Christmas.
As a Christmas market destination, Gdansk truly sparkles as the Old Town transforms into a glittering maze of lights. Holidaymakers can follow the scent of mulled wine through the cobbled streets, browse wooden stalls bursting with handmade gifts and local treats while soaking up the sounds of music and festive spirit.
As a result of this expansion, Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks will operate to six Christmas market destinations for Winter 2026/2027 from East Midlands Airport – Berlin, Budapest, Gdansk, Krakow, Prague and Vienna from November 2026 to January 2026, meaning customers can visit some of the most dazzling Christmas market destinations in Europe.
Whether holidaymakers are looking for a weekend, long-weekend or mid-week stay, the airline and city breaks operator are offering plenty of opportunity to book ahead and get something in the diary to look forward to next Christmas.
Customers booking a Christmas markets getaway can choose from a flight-only option with Jet2.com or an ATOL protected package holiday with Jet2CityBreaks available for a low £60 per person deposit.
Package options with Jet2CityBreaks include return flights with Jet2.com including 22kg baggage and 10kg hand luggage, as well as a choice of 2-5 star hotels in central locations, providing the perfect base from which to explore and experience the best Christmas market destinations in Europe.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are delighted to be putting a brand-new festive route on sale to Gdansk from East Midlands Airport and giving holidaymakers even more choice for Winter 2026/2027.
