The additions amount to "thousands" of additional seats across 22 routes flying from nine of the airline and operator's 14 UK bases.

Most of the extra flights are in April and October to meet early and late season demand, although there are a handful in May and July.

Destinations gaining extra flights include Majorca and Menorca in the Balearics, as well as several Greek islands and two Italian city favourites.

The additional seats are available from Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, Manchester and Stansted airports.

David Hills, Jet2's Chief Customer Officer, said: “We know how much our customers are looking forward to planning their summer holidays next year, and we are seeing continued demand for holidays earlier and later in the summer season as well as during the peak.

"In response, we have added thousands more seats and extended the season to a number of popular destinations for summer 2027, giving holidaymakers and independent travel agents even more opportunity to book early, plan with confidence, and choose the dates, flights and destinations that suit them best.”
