Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks’ biggest ever programme of flights and city breaks to Bergen comes into operation today, after their first flight for 2025 departed from Manchester Airport to the Norwegian city. 

Over the coming weeks, the leading leisure airline and city breaks specialist will be expanding their Spring 25 programme to Bergen even further, with flights departing from Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford, Newcastle International and London Stansted Airports. With flights and city breaks on sale from a total of seven UK airport bases, including 31 departures throughout spring, this year marks the companies’ largest Bergen programme to date. 

For the first time, Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks will start operating to Bergen from Bristol, Edinburgh and London Stansted Airports, giving even more customers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Norway’s world-renowned Fjords. These three brand-new routes, in addition to the extra flights on sale from existing airport bases, means that the total seat capacity has more than doubled in comparison to last year’s programme. 

In response to demand from customers who are looking for more discovery-based experience holidays, this year’s programme has been brought forward to allow more holidaymakers to enjoy the spring season for longer, creating fantastic choice and flexibility for customers. 

As well as providing an easy gateway for holidaymakers to access breathtaking Fjords such as Nærøyfjord and Aurlandsfjord, the city of Bergen itself provides visitors with one of the world's most significant examples of the culture and history of a particular medieval settlement. Bryggen, the historic harbour district, is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage List, complemented by a backdrop of stunning mountains wrapped around waterside restaurants, bars and shops.
