Umming and ahhing over whether you should take a quick winter vacay? Take this as your sign — easyJet has just launched a bunch of new flights to help even more Midlanders escape their dreary nine-to-five at an affordable price. Go on, treat yourself.
Soon holidaymakers will be able to fly from Birmingham International Airport to Hurghada, Marrakesh, Reykjavik, Prague and Krakow with easyJet.
Weekly flights to the Egyptian city of Hurghada launched on November 13, with one-way fares starting from £119. There are also twice-weekly routes to Marrakech in Morocco starting at the dirt-cheap price of £20.
If you want to stay a little closer to home, the new twice-weekly flights to Prague start at £16 one-way, journeys to Krakow begin at £20 and if you want to get to Reykjavik with easyJet, it’ll cost you as low as £26 one-way.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK country manager, said: ‘It’s fantastic to launch another five new services from Birmingham Airport, providing our customers across the Midlands with even more choice for a winter sun holiday or city break.’
The brand new journeys are all part of easyJet’s big expansion at Birmingham International Airport. Earlier in the year it also introduced new links from the West Midlands to Alicante, Barcelona, Fuerteventura, Malaga and Tenerife. And, while low-cost airlines don’t always get the best rep, easyJet was actually recently named one of the best budget carriers in Europe.
