Easyjet has issued an important notice to passengers who fly to Spain or France from the UK. Easyjet has added brand new packages from the UK to some "stunning and lively" holiday hotspots in Spain and France in Europe.

Easyjet has rolled out flights to the Spanish town of Sitges and the French island Corsica. Easyjet says: "For keen hikers wanting to enjoy impressive mountains and pine forests, sun-seekers looking to relax on stunning beaches, or foodies wanting to indulge in incredible local delicacies, Corsica offers a diverse range of high-quality holidays."

"The Spanish destination of Sitges is a lively hotspot for those who love beach parties and clubs, with a taste of Spanish culture and sunshine," easyJet added. "As well as its famous nightlife, Sitges offers a fantastic beach, great food, shopping and is one of Spain’s major LGBTQ+ destinations."

Chief commercial officer at easyJet holidays Paul Bixby added: “We’re always looking to expand our offering and meet holidaymakers’ demands for Europe’s most loved destinations. So, we’re delighted to have added Corsica and Sitges to our collection.

"Both destinations are increasing in popularity, due to them both being fantastic holiday destinations with so much to offer for a wide range of holidays. I’m looking forward to continuing to build our offering in Corsica and Sitges, and see our customers enjoy our brilliant holidays at unbeatable value.”

Passengers can jet off from Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Newcastle for a break in Bergen, Norway. The airline said in a statement: "The busy flights mark the first time that Jet2 has operated to Bergen in over 15 years, and it means that the airline and city break specialist are giving customers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Norway’s famous fjords."

Easyjet continues to operate from Birmingham Airport and is rivalled by Jet2, TUI, Ryanair and more.
