It means Jet2.com and Jet2holidays now has 12 destinations on sale for winter 2022/23, with up to 320 weekly flights available. The programme will run from early November 2022 through to the end of April 2023.

Steve Heapy, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays chief executive, said: “We are very pleased to be expanding our programme and adding even more sunshine hotspots, as well as putting flights and holidays on sale from East Midlands airport.

“This expansion comes on the back of the great response we have seen from customers and independent travel agents looking to book their winter sunshine nice and early. Like we have seen with the first destinations going on sale, we know these additional hotspots and launch of the programme from East Midlands airport will be just as popular.

“Based on the response we have had to the programme, and with more holidaymakers wanting to book ahead, we are looking towards the future with enormous confidence when it comes to winter 2022/23.”
