More departures to major cities such as Geneva, Salzburg, and Turin are part of the new schedule set to roll out in mid-December.

Over 180,000 seats are now available across 35 routes, as the airline modestly expands its capacity.

Jet2.com has expanded its winter flight schedule to include direct connections to some of Europe’s well-known ski resorts. From Chambery, travellers can reach the slopes of Courchevel and the wider Three Valleys area, noted for its extensive terrain and après-ski activities. Geneva provides access to popular destinations such as Tignes, while Salzburg connects visitors to the Austrian Alps, including family-friendly resorts like Mayrhofen.

Other routes include Turin, which links to the Italian Alps with straightforward access to resorts such as Val d’Isère. Innsbruck provides close access to Tyrolean ski areas, including the Stubai Glacier. Lyon provides access to the French Alps, including popular resorts such as Les Deux Alpes. Verona provides access to the Dolomites and will host the 2026 Winter Olympics. The expanded network is expected to make it easier for winter sports travellers to reach a broader range of European ski destinations.

Whether travelers are seeking outdoor adventure, wellness retreats, or simply a scenic winter break, the improved connectivity supports a wider range of experiences across some of the continent’s most striking mountain regions.
