On the back of strong and continued demand from UK holidaymakers looking to get away, Jet2CityBreaks has expanded its product range and is launching city breaks from Manchester Airport to Funchal in Madeira.
Jet2CityBreaks will operate city breaks to Funchal on a Monday and Friday year-round starting from 1st November from Manchester Airport, with additional Saturday services available in Winter 21/22. This gives customers and independent travel agents in the North West even more choice when it comes to enjoying a city break this coming winter or next summer. The launch of city breaks adds to the company’s popular flights and holidays programme to Madeira.
A range of 3 to 5-star hotels are on sale to Madeira’s largest city through Jet2CityBreaks. Customers can take their pick from a selection of quality accommodation, with a range of types of board basis available, which are all conveniently located close to the city centre and provide the perfect base for which to explore and experience Madeira’s 500-year-old capital.
As well as a choice of hotels, city break packages with the UK’s largest operator of European city breaks includes ATOL protection, award-winning flights with Jet2.com, 22kg hold luggage and 10kg free cabin baggage, as well as transfers to and from the airport – all available for a low £60 per person booking deposit. The company’s VIP customer service has seen Jet2.com repeatedly win high-profile accolades such as Which? Recommended Provider and TripAdvisor’s Best Airline – UK and Top 10 Airlines of the World.
Perched on a hill along the Garden Island’s southern coastline, Funchal is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal. Customers will be charmed by Funchal’s flawless mix of old and new, serving up colourful gardens, cobbled old streets, modern shopping malls, stylish clubs, and a cosmopolitan marina.
In the day, holidaymakers can spend time exploring the cobbled streets of Funchal’s Old Town and the many shops and museums it offers. Come nightfall, Funchal comes alive and has plenty of bars and clubs scattered all over the city, which provide plenty of options when it comes to drinking, dancing, or just relaxing with friends.
News of the new city break destination from Manchester Airport comes just months after the package holiday specialist announced that it would commence flights, holidays and city breaks to Lisbon from the base from September. It means that customers in the region can explore the Portuguese capital in late-Summer and Autumn, enjoy a winter break in Winter 21/22, or a sunshine getaway in Summer 22.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays:
“We are continuing to see huge demand for Winter 21/22 and Summer 22 from Manchester Airport, so we are adding Funchal to our Jet2CityBreaks offering to give customers and independent travel agents in the region even greater choice. The stunning city with its traditional Portuguese architecture, cosmopolitan dining and shopping scene and lively nightlife, means it has an endless list of attractions and experiences to keep everyone entertained. With a fantastic choice of flights and hotels on sale to Funchal from Manchester Airport for Winter 21/22 and Summer 22, we know that the addition of Funchal to our city breaks portfolio will be welcome news to holidaymakers in the North West looking to get away. It also expands our Madeira programme even further, adding to our already popular programme of flights and package holidays.”
