Thousands of passengers are set to depart from Manchester Airport this summer as families take advantage of the school holidays. The airport connects the north of England with over 200 destinations worldwide, offering options from sunny European beaches to long-haul bucket-list trips.
New Routes and Seasonal Services
This summer, several airlines are launching new routes from Manchester Airport or bringing back seasonal services. These include new easyJet routes to Bari, Italy, and Preveza, Greece; Jet2.com services to Palermo, Sicily, and Samos, Greece; and Ryanair routes to Castellon, Spain, and Rimini, Italy.
Peak Travel Period and Industry Uncertainty
In the coming weeks, passengers without children or with younger kids can take advantage of cheaper deals before schools break up in mid-July. Bargains are available for popular destinations like Spain, Greece, and Turkey, while city breaks remain a favorite for short trips.
This year's peak season coincides with uncertainty in the travel industry due to the Middle East conflict, which has affected jet fuel prices. Many UK airlines, including Jet2, have reassured passengers that they plan to operate normally and will not add fuel surcharges.
