Airline and tour operator Jet2 will launch its first flights to two of the most idyllic destinations in the Mediterranean this weekend. Inaugural services to the stunning islands of Sardinia and Sicily will depart from Manchester, London Stansted and Leeds Bradford Airports.
The routes, which have already proved popular with passengers, will operate to Sardinia from Manchester from May 1 and London Stansted from May 15. Flights to Sicily will start from London Stansted on May 1, from Leeds Bradford from May 4 and Manchester on May 7.
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and is a well-established destination with UK holidaymakers, offering everything from beach holidays to city breaks. With culture, cuisine, dramatic landscapes, mighty Mount Etna, and stunning beaches, Sicily has something for everyone.
Package holidays to Sicily with Jet2holidays offer customers and independent travel agents a fantastic choice of beach resorts, including Taormina, Taormina Mare, Giardini Naxos, Syracuse, Cefalu and Campofelice Di Roccella. In addition, packages are also on sale through Jet2CityBreaks to the historic city of Catania.
Sardinia is on many travel bucket lists of must-see European beach destinations. With snow-white sand sloping into glimmering turquoise waters, customers can head to the Costa Smeralda for a glamorous seaside experience or head south of Olbia for a holiday with an authentic slant.
Resorts on sale in Sardinia include Porto Cervo, Baia Sardinia, Budoni, San Teodoro, Cannigione, San Pantaleo, Orosei and Pittulongu, as well as city breaks to Olbia.
It means the companies have seven Italian destinations on sale this summer (Sicily, Sardinia, Naples, Pisa, Rome, Venice and Verona).
