Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have responded to strong demand from customers looking to enjoy some Greek sunshine later in the season, by adding more flights and holidays to Crete (Heraklion) and Rhodes in November 2024.

The leading leisure airline and UK’s largest tour operator have stepped in quickly to meet demand from British holidaymakers with the addition of over 11,000 extra seats to Crete (Heraklion) and Rhodes from nine UK bases – Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool John Lennon, Manchester, Newcastle International and London Stansted Airports.

With customers looking to book ahead and lock in their much-needed holidays through the summer and later in the year, this announcement gives them even more choice.

The addition of these new flights means that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have moved swiftly to provide customers with more opportunity to grab a slice of sun later in the season and responded to the strong demand they are seeing for their award-winning flights and ATOL-protected package holidays.

The new flights added are as follows:

Crete (Heraklion) – extra flying from Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool John Lennon, Manchester, Newcastle International and London Stansted from 3^rd – 9^th November 2024 means an extended season to the Greek island until the beginning of November.
Rhodes – new flights introduced from 3^rd – 9^th November 2024, with extra flying from Belfast International, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool John Lennon, Manchester, Newcastle International and London Stansted. As a result, this means Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are extending the season in Rhodes to early November.

As well as flights operating later in the season, a choice of fantastic hotels are now ready to book in Crete (Heraklion) and Rhodes in early November.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “There continues to be enormous demand for Summer 24 from British holidaymakers, who want nothing more than to get away to the sunshine and enjoy their well-deserved holidays. As always, we listen to what customers are saying and react accordingly, so that we can provide them with the holiday choices that they want. Extending the season to these two popular Greek destinations means we are doing exactly that; giving customers more opportunity to get away and enjoy a much-needed holiday later in the season. As a result of the assurance that customers get from our award-winning flights and ATOL protected package holidays, we will be continuing to respond to the demand we are seeing, so that we can take even more customers from our rainy islands to their favourite holiday hotspots.”
