Thousands of passengers pass through Manchester Airport every day, connecting the north with over 200 destinations worldwide. Whether for holidays, work, or visiting family, the airport is a vital hub. Summer is one of the busiest periods, especially during school holidays. Those without children or with pre-school kids often take advantage of cheaper deals before the break. It's also a popular time to escape the summer heat and enjoy quieter resorts. Spain, Greece, and Turkey are among the top summer destinations.
New Routes and Seasonal Services

These include easyJet's new routes to Bari, Italy, and Preveza, Greece; Jet2.com's services to Palermo, Sicily, and Samos, Greece; and Ryanair's routes to Castellon, Spain, and Rimini, Italy.
Travel Uncertainty and Fuel Prices
Many travellers are looking forward to their holidays after a period of uncertainty caused by the conflict in the Middle East, which has impacted jet fuel prices. UK airlines, including Jet2, have reassured passengers that they plan to operate as normal without adding fuel surcharges to flights or holidays.
