Jet2 has launched its Black Friday sale, offering up to 20% off flights to popular Christmas market destinations, including December fares to Budapest from £43. The Hungarian capital was named one of the top three 'most beautiful' European cities for Christmas markets in 2026 by Forbes.
Festive city breaks from £38
Flights to Prague are available from £38 in December, with direct departures from 10 UK airports. Prague's famous Christmas markets begin on November 28, set against historic architecture with decorated huts selling local delicacies and handmade crafts, alongside an open-air music stage, a nativity scene, and an ice rink.
Vienna flights are priced from £42 in December, with 12 UK airports to choose from. The Austrian capital hosts more than 20 markets across its historic squares, palaces and gardens from mid-November.
Budapest's award-winning market
Budapest's Advent Bazilika, held in front of St Stephen's Basilica from November 13 until January 1, took the number one spot in Forbes' ranking. It has been crowned the Best Christmas Market in Europe by European Best Destinations on multiple occasions. This year, the market will feature more than a hundred stalls offering culinary experiences and unique souvenirs from ceramicists, designers and jewellery makers, plus festive light displays and seasonal events.
The cheapest Budapest flights from £43 depart from Manchester, with additional direct options from Newcastle, Leeds Bradford, Glasgow Intl, East Midlands and Birmingham airports.
Ski and winter sun deals
The sale also covers winter ski breaks, with January flights to Geneva, Grenoble, Chambery and Turin from UK airports from £25. For warmer escapes, flights to Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Tenerife and Gran Canaria start at £28 from 13 UK airports, with daytime temperatures averaging 20-22°C in December and flight times of four to four-and-a-half hours.
Holidaymakers can also book 2027 summer getaways, with flights from £40 to Majorca, Ibiza and Menorca. The sale includes discounts on add-ons such as bags, seats and meals, with more than 80 destinations available.
Jet2 holds an average rating of 4.3 out of five stars on Trustpilot and has been a Which? Recommended Provider for 10 years running, named the best short-haul economy option in its 2026 ranking. Which? noted: "Jet2 cancelled far fewer flights at the last minute than most rivals and clinched four stars for customer service, value for money and the booking process (simplified because there's no need to add cabin bags)."
The Jet2 Black Friday sale is on now.
