Jet2holidays Adds New Routes to the South of France
Jet2holidays, the UK’s largest tour operator, announced to launch package holidays to the South of France for the first time this summer. The announcement came ahead of the 20th anniversary of Jet2.com operating award-winning flights to Nice, the second-largest French city.
After putting resorts of Menton, Antibes, Saint Raphael and Villefranche Sur Mer, in the southern region of France on sale, Jet2holidays is allowing customers and independent travel agents to book a package holiday to the region in the Summer of 23. These new resorts add to the existing resort of Cannes which was on sale with Jet2CityBreaks previously and is now available through Jet2holidays.
After this launch, Jet2holidays now has over 20 2-5 star hotels across the five resorts, including La Villa Port D’Antibes & Spa and AC Hotel by Marriott Ambassadeur Antibes Juan Les Pins, available to book. It means holidaymakers can take advantage of all the benefits, including VIP customer service, private transfers, ATOL protection and the option to upgrade their booking to include car hire by booking a package holiday with Jet2holidays.
The leading leisure airline has more than doubled its operations to Nice, after adding seven weekly services from Birmingham Airport, two weekly services from Leeds Bradford, and a second weekly service from Manchester Airports for Summer 23. The airline plans to start operations to Nice from London Stansted Airport on Summer 24.
Steve Heapy, the CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said, “We are delighted to announce the launch of package holidays to the South of France with Jet2holidays. The launch of package holidays to the South of France means holidaymakers can access this fantastic destination and enjoy the long coast of sandy beaches, glitzy restaurants and yacht-filled marinas it is known for. As well as being able to access this region, holidaymakers can also take advantage of the benefits of booking a package holiday for the first time to the South of France with Jet2holidays.”
He added, “We are confident that the launch of package holidays to the South of France and the expansion of our Nice programme will be popular with both customers and independent travel agents.”
Gwénaëlle Delos, the Managing Director of Atout France in London, said, “We are delighted with the significant growth in Jet2holidays’ offering in the south of France. France remains a top destination for British travellers, and we are thrilled to welcome more and more of them. With ever-present sunshine, a wealth of multi-seasonal activities (arts & garden festivals, Picasso celebrations, outdoor & seaside adventures) and a series of highlights including the Rugby World Cup in September, Nice and the Cote d’Azur invite visitors to travel all year round - and this new Jet2holidays offer only reinforces our joint efforts and objectives to promote France as a vibrant tourism destination.”
