Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “We are delighted to be expanding our ski programme and offering customers more choice on our award-winning airline than ever before. People’s minds are turning to the slopes, as we have seen a jump in bookings in September which bodes well for the season ahead.

“Weekend breaks and short breaks are proving increasingly popular so we have accommodated this by putting on more flights to suit those skiers, making it easier than ever to head to the Alps for a short ski break. With these friendly flight times, alongside 22kg of baggage and ski allowance, we’re confident of a very busy and popular ski season this winter.”

To launch the programme, we are also offering half price ski carriage on flights to Geneva, Grenoble, Salzburg, Turin and Lyon from all nine of our UK bases.

The promotion applies if you make a new booking between yesterday (19^th September 2017) and 12^th October 2017, and are travelling between 30^th November 2017 and 30^th April 2018 on any of the above routes.

So book before 12^th October and you’ll save a whopping £25 on your ski carriage (normally £50 return). There’s snow way you’ll want to miss out!
