For those looking for a magical Christmas getaway, easyJet is launching winter flights from London Luton and Edinburgh to Rovaniemi, the gateway to Finnish Lapland, which will launch on 9 and 3 December respectively and will both operate twice a week throughout winter. The new routes join existing services from London Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester, which are set to prove popular with families visiting the famous home of Santa Claus this winter.

Also launching this winter are four new routes from the UK to Egypt’s scuba diving hotspot Hurghada. Flight will launch from Liverpool twice a week starting 29 October, Glasgow twice a week starting 8 November and Belfast once a week starting 31 October, all operating year round, as well as from Edinburgh twice a week starting 6 November throughout the winter season. easyJet is the number one carrier from the UK to both Egypt and North Africa, which continue to prove popular with UK holidaymakers for guaranteed winter sun, vast sandy beaches and world-renowned coral reefs.

The new routes will see thousands of brand new packages available to Hurghada with easyJet holidays whose customers can make the most of great value packages to a wide range of hotels on offer. What’s more, packages include flights, hotel, 23kg luggage and transfers on beach holidays.

Additional winter city routes from Liverpool to Lyon and London Southend to Geneva also go on sale today, with easyJet holidays breaks available to both destinations.

In May the airline announced it would be launching nine new routes this winter including the only route from the UK to Akuyeri in Iceland and with eight additional new routes on sale from today, customers have even more choice when looking to book their next winter getaway, whether they’re hitting the slopes, browsing Europe’s best Christmas markets, planning a magical family holiday or chasing the winter sun.
