Jet2CityBreaks has today announced the launch of a brand-new Christmas market destination for Winter 24/25 from Bristol Airport – Bratislava.
The UK’s leading operator of European city breaks has responded to strong demand from UK holidaymakers looking to enjoy a festive getaway this winter, by expanding its network with the launch of Jet2CityBreak Christmas Market packages to Bratislava.
The addition of this new Christmas market destination gives customers and independent travel agents even more choice and flexibility for Winter 24/25, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a winter break to a new country in the Jet2 network – Slovakia.
Christmas market packages have gone on sale to Bratislava from Bristol Airport from 21st November 2024 to 5th January 2025. Flights will operate to Vienna Airport, with twice weekly services (Thursday and Sunday) available from Bristol Airport during this time. From there, customers will take a quick hop over the border where they will then have the bright lights of Bratislava to discover as they wish.
Customers travelling to Bratislava via Vienna Airport with Jet2CityBreaks will be able to choose from a selection of 4-star hotels located in the heart of the city, giving them the chance to explore all that this charming destination has to offer.
Considered a hidden gem, Bratislava is nestled along the Danube River, bordered by Austria and Hungary, and offers scenic landscapes, culture and history and traditional cuisine. It is the ideal choice for those who want the buzz of a capital city, and when it comes to culture and sightseeing, Bratislava packs a real punch, with museums, castles, theatres and more to uncover. Magical markets come to town over the Christmas period too, so holidaymakers can get their festive fix and then some.
Today’s announcement means that holidaymakers in the South West and Wales have even more choice and flexibility when it comes to booking a Christmas market trip with Jet2CityBreaks from Bristol Airport this winter. In total, three Christmas market destinations are now available to book from Bristol Airport – Prague, Vienna and Bratislava for Winter 24/25.
Christmas market packages with Jet2CityBreaks wrap it all up in one, with a great choice of accommodation, friendly flight times with Jet2.com, ATOL Protection, free 10kg hand luggage and free 22kg hold baggage.
