Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks have announced the expansion of their Christmas Markets programme for Winter 2026/2027, introducing a new route from Birmingham Airport to Copenhagen. This addition comes in response to growing demand for festive breaks, offering travellers the chance to explore the Danish capital's renowned Christmas markets.
Starting from 19 November to 20 December 2026, the new service will operate twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays. This schedule provides customers and travel agents in the Midlands with increased flexibility and options for planning their winter getaways. Copenhagen, known for its enchanting Nyhavn market and the magical Tivoli Gardens, promises a whimsical festive experience.
With this expansion, Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks will now offer flights to eight Christmas market destinations from Birmingham, including Budapest, Cologne, Gdansk, Krakow, Prague, Tallinn, and Vienna. This move significantly increases the number of available seats to over 55,000, catering to the high demand for European festive destinations.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, expressed enthusiasm about the new route, stating, “We are delighted to be putting a brand-new festive route on sale to Copenhagen from Birmingham Airport and giving holidaymakers even more choice for Winter 2026/2027.” Al Titterington, Terminal Operations Director at Birmingham Airport, added, “We’re confident that this route will prove popular with customers.”
Travellers can choose between flight-only options or ATOL-protected package holidays with Jet2CityBreaks, which include flights, baggage, and accommodation in central locations.
