Jet2 Expands Summer Programme with New Route to Lesvos
Budget airline Jet2 has announced the launch of a new exclusive route to the Greek island of Lesvos, providing travellers with an opportunity to explore a lesser-known destination featuring diverse landscapes and uncrowded beaches. This addition to Jet2's summer 2027 programme from London Gatwick aims to offer holidaymakers a laid-back ambience away from busy crowds.
Discovering the Charms of Lesvos
Lesvos, also known as Lesbos, is situated in the northeastern Aegean Sea and is the third-largest island in Greece. It boasts turquoise waters, unspoilt sprawling beaches, hot springs, majestic forests, and dramatic volcanic landscapes. The island's capital, Mytilini, is brimming with history, showcasing charming medieval streets, traditional Mediterranean villages, and fascinating architecture. Renowned for its ouzo, an anise-flavoured liqueur, and its olive groves with over 11 million trees, Lesvos offers a rich cultural and natural experience.
Flight Details and Summer Sale
The new Jet2 route to Lesvos will operate weekly on Sundays from May 2 to October 10, 2027. Fares start from £123, with flights available to book now. In conjunction with this launch, Jet2 has announced a major sale for 35 sun-soaked destinations, including Lesvos, for holidaymakers travelling from London Gatwick next summer. The destinations on sale encompass a wide range of popular spots such as Antalya, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Alicante, Malaga, Palma, Ibiza, Faro, Crete, Corfu, Rhodes, and many others.
Jet2's Expansion and Customer Response
This new route and summer sale precede Jet2's inaugural flights and holidays from London Gatwick, set to commence on March 26. The expansion is designed to provide greater flexibility for passengers. Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, commented on the positive reaction from customers and independent travel agents, highlighting the high demand for the airline's services. He emphasised that the expanded programme offers more choice and flexibility, allowing customers to book their Summer 2027 holidays early.
With temperatures reaching 30C during the summer months, Lesvos presents an ideal getaway for those seeking golden beaches, fossilised forests, and volcanic scenery. Jet2's initiative reflects a strategic move to cater to growing travel interests while enhancing its presence from London Gatwick.
