The new route to Lyon, a ski gateway in east-central France, will depart on a Saturday and takes off for the first time on 14 December 2013. Flight prices start at £25.49* and are available now to book online at easyJet.com.
Travellers looking to jet off with the airline from Manchester Airport this winter will also find flights to a number of destinations which were launched earlier this year including city break favourites Prague, Reykjavik and Venice.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Commercial Manager, comments:
“easyJet has already flown 1.8 million passengers from Manchester Airport in the past year and now operates 33 routes from the airport. We are hugely excited to be in a position to expand our schedule further to offer more choice to our customers this winter.
”We fly to the places our passengers tell us they most want to visit and Lyon in France has been repeatedly suggested so I’m really pleased to announce this new route is being added to our schedule. I’m sure it will be hugely popular with travellers, plus as ever those who book early will reap the greatest cost savings so I’d urge everyone seeking a winter break to book early to secure the cheapest flights.
“We are committed to our growth at Manchester Airport and the first six months of 2013 alone have seen eight new routes launched bringing more competition and lower fares as well as opening up new markets to both leisure and business travellers alike.”
Lyon has magnificent mountains and alpine lakes and some of Europe’s most reliable snow making it a gateway to many popular ski resorts. It is also famed for its historical and architectural landmarks - as well as being the birthplace of cinema.
Travellers looking to book their winter flights, accommodation and transfers in one go can find a wide range of flexible and affordable breaks from all easyJet airports on the easyJet Holidays website: www.easyJet.com/holidays or by calling: 0843 104 1000.
