February 2020 – Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks has put its eagerly-anticipated programme of Christmas market flights and trips on sale for 2020 from Newcastle Airport, and the festive selection is bigger and more spectacular than ever - with more destinations, more flights and more choice.

With European Christmas markets continuing to enjoy enormous popularity, the company has introduced a mini-series of flights and city breaks, as well as a selection of two-night trips, to a festive assortment of winter wonderlands from November until just before Christmas. The programme include two brand-new destinations, thanks to a mini-series of flights and breaks to Budapest as well as dedicated two-night trips to Strasbourg.

The Hungarian capital, Budapest, is teeming with tinkling market stalls and majestic architecture, so visitors really have it all during a Budapest Christmas market break. Considered one of Europe’s best, Vörösmarty Square Christmas Market is embellished with nativity scenes, handicrafts as well as a giant fir tree. 

The Strasbourg Christmas market is the oldest in France, and from November the whole town transforms into a winter wonderland with the streets and squares turned into a stunning Christmas scene.

In addition to these brand-new winter wonderlands, the programme announced today also includes a mini-series of flights and breaks to Vienna, as well as dedicated two-night trips to Berlin, Nuremberg, Cologne and Copenhagen.
