We have doubled our capacity to Santorini from London Stansted Airport for Summer 21, giving holidaymakers and independent travel agents in the region even more choice and flexibility to visit the bucket list destination.
New Sunday services from London Stansted Airport to the popular Greek island have been added. The addition of these new services, which run from 23rd May to 31st October along with existing Tuesday services, means that we will offer customers two weekly services to Santorini during Summer 21.
The new services are perfectly timed for newlyweds who have tied the knot on a Saturday and are looking to head off on their honeymoon immediately after the big day. Couples and families can also take advantage of the additional flights and enjoy a week-long getaway or longer on the idyllic island.
The announcement comes in response to strong demand for holidays to Greece in Summer 21. Today’s announcement means that we will operate to a total of 14 Greek destinations – Corfu, Crete (Chania), Kefalonia, Halkidiki, Crete (Heraklion), Mykonos, Kos, Rhodes, Skiathos, Santorini, Kalamata (Peloponnese), Lesvos, Preveza and Zante – from London Stansted Airport in Summer 21, as holidaymakers look to book holidays in the Greek sunshine.
This expansion comes just weeks after we launched flights and holidays from Bristol Airport, our tenth UK base. The launch of a new UK base for Summer 21, followed by this Greek expansion, demonstrates our confidence and underlines our long-term strategy to become the UK’s leading leisure travel business.
As well as booking and travelling on award-winning flights and ATOL protected package holidays, customers get to experience and enjoy our VIP customer service which has seen Jet2.com and Jet2holidays repeatedly win high-profile accolades such as Which? Recommended Provider and TripAdvisor’s Best Airline – UK and Top 10 Airlines of the World.
This VIP customer service includes friendly flight times and a generous 22kg baggage allowance and two FREE pieces of hand luggage up to 10kg through a flight-only booking with Jet2.com, which saw the airline win five accolades at the 2020 TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice® Awards for Airlines; or that very same VIP customer service, in-resort Customer Helpers, transfers, free child places and ATOL protection with, Jet2holidays.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “Demand from customers and independent travel agents in the region is telling us that flights and holidays to Greece are very much in demand for Summer 21. As ever, we have responded quickly to that demand by adding extra services to Santorini from London Stansted Airport, giving customers even more choice when it comes to visiting this bucket list destination.
“With its romantic sunsets and stunning scenery, Santorini is a magical destination for newlyweds, couples and families who are looking to enjoy a memorable holiday in the Greek sunshine, so we are confident that these new services will prove popular with local holidaymakers next summer.”
