Jet2 announced this week that they have more destinations for you to think about when booking a holiday or flight.

From summer next year there will be flights and holidays to Bourgas in Bulgaria and you can already book to go to Bodrum twice weekly from May to October or Corfu with a weekly service on Thursdays.

Using two new 727-800 aircraft as well as the existing fleet there is now a total of 34 destinations and 800,000 seats from Edinburgh Airport.

Bourgas in Bulgaria is a beach destination with miles of golden sand on the Black Sea. There are two five star hotels and you are promised lively nightlife as well as sunny days.

Stanislav Yevetski the Bulgarian actor who played Victor Drum in Harry Potter helped the airline announce the news.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “We are extremely excited about our Summer 19 programme from Edinburgh Airport, which is our biggest and best to date. The fantastic brand new destination of Bourgas gives holidaymakers even more choice with our award-winning airline and package holiday business, on top of our other new destinations from the airport to Bodrum and Corfu.

“The addition of flights to Bourgas means we will operate to Bulgaria for the first time, and with resorts such as Sunny Beach on sale, we are expecting it be hugely popular with local holidaymakers. We are hugely excited about Summer 19 when we will have thousands of 2-5-star hotels and a fleet of aircraft full of happy holidaymakers enjoying the VIP customer service that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays delivers.”

Gordon Robertson, Director of Communication at Edinburgh Airport said: “We’re excited about this new service to Bulgaria which we’re confident will be a great success as we offer yet more choice to passengers. It’s great to see Jet2.com expand further at Scotland’s busiest airport and we’re glad to work closely with them to deliver more adventure and greater connectivity between Scotland and countries across Europe.”

  • Flights start from £69 one way including taxes from Edinburgh Airport to Bourgas, and holidays from £339 per person, including a 22kg luggage allowance and return transfers.
