Jet2.com Marks 20 Years of Venice Flights from Leeds Bradford

Wednesday, March 27, 2024

On April 1st, 2004, Jet2.com made its inaugural flight to Venice from Leeds Bradford Airport. Fast forward two decades, and the esteemed leisure airline is commemorating its 20th anniversary of delivering top-notch flights to Venice.

Since its modest beginnings in 2004, Jet2.com has experienced remarkable growth, expanding not only its flights to Venice but also through Jet2CityBreaks, the UK’s premier operator of European city breaks. Over 1.5 million travelers have since journeyed to this beloved destination with Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks.

Presently, these companies offer flights to Venice from two UK airports, Birmingham and Manchester. During peak summer periods, travelers can select from up to two weekly flights from Birmingham Airport (on Thursdays and Sundays) and up to four weekly flights from Manchester Airport (on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays). Responding to heightened demand, Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks will be increasing their services to Venice from Manchester Airport to up to five weekly flights, including additional Saturday services starting in Summer 2025.

This expanded schedule grants customers and independent travel agents unparalleled options and flexibility when booking award-winning flights and ATOL-protected package holidays to Venice, an iconic Italian city.

In addition to their acclaimed flights and holiday packages, customers can relish the VIP customer service that has earned Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks prestigious accolades, such as being named a Which? Recommended Provider.

Travelers bound for Venice can opt for either a flight-only arrangement with Jet2.com or an ATOL-protected package holiday with Jet2CityBreaks, requiring a modest deposit of £60 per person.

Jet2CityBreaks’ package offerings include flights via Jet2.com, which include 22kg of checked luggage, along with a choice of centrally located hotels ranging from 2 to 5 stars. These accommodations serve as an ideal starting point for exploring and immersing oneself in the wonders of Venice.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “This year marks 20 years since we started operating to Venice, when we had just one route on sale. Today, we operate a popular programme of flights and city breaks to Venice from the UK and have flown over 1.5 million customers to this magnificent destination. Such growth and success over the last two decades would not be possible without the fantastic

partnerships we have in Italy, and I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to hoteliers, airports, tourist boards and all our partners. As we continue to grow and take more customers to Venice on our award-winning flights and holidays, we will continue to put that partnership approach at the very heart of everything we do and bring even more happy holidaymakers to the destination.”
