With travel returning to normality, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will recommence their popular programme of award-winning flights and package holidays to Cyprus from this week.
Busy flights will depart from Leeds Bradford, Manchester and London Stansted Airports to Paphos on Saturday (12th February), with customers jetting off for some much-needed sunshine on the Mediterranean island. It marks the start of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays operating to the popular holiday destination once again from all ten UK bases – (Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, London Stansted and Newcastle).
Services will also restart to Paphos on Sunday (13th February) from Newcastle and East Midlands, followed by operations recommencing from Birmingham (16th February), Glasgow (26th February), Edinburgh (16th March) and Belfast International (30th March).
In addition, the companies will operate flights and holidays from Bristol Airport to Paphos for the first time from 6th March onwards, offering customers and independent travel agents in the South West and Wales the opportunity to book or travel on award-winning flights and package holidays to the popular sunshine destination with Jet2.com and Jet2holidays.
The resumption of services to Paphos comes after the removal of restrictions for fully vaccinated customers arriving into the UK, which has seen holidaymakers flocking to book flights and holidays in their numbers. There has been strong demand for flights and holidays to Cyprus, with Paphos proving to be a popular choice for holidaymakers looking to get away this February half-term, Easter and during the summer. With flights and holidays restarting to Larnaca from nine bases (Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, London Stansted and Newcastle) from 27th March onwards, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are anticipating a very busy year ahead.
With its Blue Flag shores, archaeologic treasures, and tasty cuisine, it is not surprising that the laid-back region of Paphos continues to be a firm holiday favourite as the Mediterranean islands suits every type of holidaymaker. Stretching along Cyprus’ southwest coast, Paphos is in the thick of it, with a palm-lined waterfront of busy bars and friendly tavernas. Holidaymakers have plenty of activities to choose from, including a waterpark, zoo, shopping malls, PGA accredited and award-winning golf courses, and UNESCO-listed historical sites.
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will restart flights and holidays to Paphos from the following bases on the below dates:
Belfast International – flights and holidays recommence from 30th March, with weekly services available on a Wednesday from the base.
