- Exclusive new cycling holidays to Majorca launched today

Jet2holidays has stepped up a gear by becoming the only UK holiday operator to offer dedicated cycling breaks to Majorca.
Launched today, these specialist holidays to the Balearics’ biking mecca are available from £195 per person (for one week) and only £60 deposit. Bike lovers can book the full package via a special microsite – www.jet2holidays.com/cycling – including:
- Flights to Palma from eight Jet2.com UK airports.
- Bike carriage which is free for all customers booking before 21st November 2013 (simply quote code FREE PMI BIKES).
- A hand-picked selection of 3 – 4 star hotels with cycling friendly features including: direct access to the best routes, secure CCTV storage plus repair, maintenance and bike cleaning facilities.
- Transfers for cyclists and their bikes.
Enthusiasts can benefit from March – November flights, which are perfectly timed to take advantage of the cooler weather for training. Plus Jet2holidays’ flexible stays means holidays can be tailored to suit all styles whether it’s a short weekend break with mates or week-long family trip.
Steve Heapy, Chief Executive Officer of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are continually expanding our product range to offer our customers an unrivalled choice of holiday options. Active breaks are certainly seeing an increase in popularity, particularly cycling on the back of the UK’s Olympic legacy and next year’s Grand Depart Yorkshire. It therefore made sense to cater for this growing demand by launching bespoke cycling holidays to one of the most popular biking destinations in Europe.
“We’ve worked hard to develop a package which is a one-stop-shop to suit all biking styles and abilities. Our dedicated microsite not only highlights the best hotel deals but also has top route maps plus a host of handy tips and advice, including how to pack your cycle for travel. Combined with our unrivalled knowledge on what to do in Majorca when out of the saddle, we are confident our new cycling breaks are right on track.”
