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.”
