Jet2 is returning to Egypt after 15 years this winter

The additions span winter sun favourites, city breaks and Christmas markets, and ski gateways, while the 8.7% year-on-year increase in capacity to 6.3 million seats makes this Jet's biggest-ever winter programme.

Brand new for winter 2026/27 is Strasbourg, which will be available from Edinburgh, Manchester and Stansted as a city break and Christmas market option.

The other two "new" additions are Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada, to which Jet2 stopped flying in 2011 owing to the political situation in the country and is only now returning.
