Jet2 set to launch Valencia from Leeds Bradford??

Notice a few developments at Jet2 lately. Alot of summer flights have gone on sale from LBA. The most significant developments so far been Pisa increasing from one flight a week to five flights a week, and Ibiza going daily. Also, online check in is now available on the MAN-LGW route. I’m sure they will roll that out across the whole network in time.

Manchester – Valencia isn’t a new route…..

I didnt say it was 😉

Good news, especially as TOM have dropped this destination from DSA. I really enjoyed a weekend in Valencia last October. Smaller and less crowded than Barcelona and truly Spanish – great beach too.

The news beach lovers and sailing enthusiasts have been waiting for has arrived, with Jet2.com, Yorkshire’s low cost airline, announcing that flights for it’s 25th destination from Leeds Bradford – Valencia – will get underway from 18th May 2007. Prices start from just £39.99 one way inclusive of taxes.

With the America’s Cup visiting Europe for the first time in its 152 year history and Valencia the proud host, Jet2.com has introduced flights from Leeds Bradford to meet the anticipated large volume of passengers keen to sample the yachting action and one of Spain’s hippest destinations.

An initial four-times-a-week service (Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) will allow residents of Yorkshire the only direct link from the region to this stunning historical city, famed for its mouth-watering cuisine, sophisticated nightlife and its proximity to some of the best-loved beach resorts in all of the Med – The Costa Blanca and Costa de Valencia are both just short drives away.

Jet2.com boss, Phillip Meeson, said: “Valencia is a fantastic place, offering both the hustle and bustle of a major European city, a thriving arts scene and a beach just 10 minutes away. Next year it will be mobbed by visitors keen to see what’s never been seen before – the America’s Cup.

“Our new service is ideal for those wanting both a weekend break in one of Spain’s most cosmopolitan cities and also those wanting to combine big-city style with excellent beach resorts for longer breaks.

“For those who like to ‘play with their food’, Valencia is also a stone’s throw, or should that be ‘tomato’s throw’ from the village Bunol, which hosts the annual ‘La Tomatina’ Festival in August each year.

“Over 100 tons of tomatoes are thrown in a battle in the streets attended by over 40,000 people. Just make sure you’ve showered before you get your flight back.

“Launching our 25th route from Leeds Bradford is a significant moment for us and our latest destination is certain not to disappoint – put simply, Valencia has it all.”
