An airline has unveiled a new route from Scotland to a popular Christmas market destination for the winter period.

The airline will operate two weekly dedicated services (Thursday and Sunday) to the Czech capital from November 30 to December 17, 2023.

The airline said that the expansion of its Winter 23/24 city breaks programme comes in response to strong demand from customers and independent travel agents looking to book an escape to their favourite city break destinations this winter.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are seeing strong demand for city breaks this winter, with more people than ever wanting to visit their favourite city break destinations. As always, we want to give customers and independent travel agents what they want, so have added flights and city breaks to Vienna throughout the whole of the winter season.
"On top of this, we have also extended our Prague and Krakow routes from East Midlands Airports throughout winter too. As the largest operator of European city breaks, we know that these new services will be extremely popular, as people look for a magical winter escape with a company they can rely on.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
