Jet2 has placed more than 32,000 additional seats to Tunisia on sale, extending its flight programme into the winter 2027/28 season from five UK airports.

The airline launched flights and holidays to Tunisia for Summer 2027 and has now decided to operate longer seasons beyond summer. Flights will run for an extra four weeks beyond Summer 2027, through to 30th November 2027, and will resume from 11th February 2028 ahead of the Summer 2028 season.

Extended schedule from five UK airports

The additional seats are available from Birmingham, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and London Stansted Airports. The extended offering now gives families more opportunities to visit Tunisia, as it includes the October and February school breaks.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2, said: "The response to the launch of Tunisia for Summer 2027 has been fantastic. With plenty of demand from customers and independent travel agents looking to book early and looking to book Tunisia for some winter sunshine, we are delighted to be extending our programme into the Winter 2027/28 season, giving them exactly what they want."

Heapy added: "This expansion gives customers even more opportunities to enjoy everything that Tunisia has to offer, whilst enjoying our industry-leading customer service.

Tunisia is known for its historical sites, and on TripAdvisor, some tourists have hailed the country as "incredible", with private tours offering visitors expert knowledge from locals. The top-rated things to do in Tunisia include the scenic Hammamet Beach, Mahdia Beach and historical sites like Amphithéâtre D'el Jem. Tourists also enjoy days out to the desert, where they can experience short camel treks or longer car safaris.

There are areas of Tunisia where the Foreign Office advises against travel for Brits. This includes Western Tunisia, including the Tunisia-Algeria border. The FCDO advises against all travel to the Chaambi Mountains National Park, the designated military operations zones of Mount Salloum, Mount Sammamma and Mount Mghila.

This is due to cross-border terrorist activity and operations by the Tunisian security forces. Additionally, it advises against travel to areas north and west of the town of Ghardimaou in Jendouba Governorate, including El Feidja National Park, within 20km of the Tunisia-Algeria border in El Kef and Jendouba governorates, south of the town of Jendouba, Kasserine Governorate, including the town of Sbeitla, within 10km of the rest of the Tunisia-Algeria border south of Kasserine Governorate, within 10km of Mount Mghila, and Mount Orbata. It also includes advice against travel to Southern Tunisia, including the Tunisia-Libya border.
