Jet2 has recently revealed that they will be adding a new winter destination from Manchester Airport. Travelers can now book flights to the beautiful Slovakian capital of Bratislava. The decision to expand their network to include this hidden gem location came in response to the increasing demand from UK holidaymakers who are eager to explore new cities and enjoy a festive winter getaway. In addition to flight options, Jet2 is also offering Christmas Market packages to Bratislava.
The city break packages to Bratislava from Manchester Airport will be available from 18 October to 19 May, 2025.

Bratislava, often considered a hidden gem, is located along the Danube River and is surrounded by Austria and Hungary. The city offers stunning landscapes, rich culture and history, and delicious traditional cuisine. Along with exploring museums, castles, and theaters, visitors can also enjoy the magical Christmas markets that come to life during the holiday season.
For those looking to experience a festive getaway leading up to Christmas, Christmas market trips to Bratislava from Manchester Airport will be available in November and December 2024, with additional flights operating during these months.
