Jet2 announces flights from Newcastle Airport to Verona, close to Lake Garda

Jet2 has added an exciting city break destination passengers can fly to from Newcastle next summer.

From summer 2023, Jet2 will launch a route from Newcastle International Airport to Verona in Italy. The historical city is a favourite for city breakers and is around 20 miles from Lake Garda.

"Surrounded by small, picturesque villages, majestic mountains and shorelines stretching over 90 miles, Lake Garda’s coves and clear waters make it an ideal spot for windsurfing and swimming," says Jet2.

As such, we are seeing a lot of demand for city breaks for Summer 23 from Newcastle Airport and have responded to that by adding a brand-new city break destination for Summer 23, as well as expanding our City Breaks programme on sale from the base.
