Jet2CityBreaks has announced a new expansion of its city break offerings from Bournemouth Airport, with a new service to Murcia.
For its inaugural summer season, the airline is introducing Murcia, a vibrant Spanish city, as a brand-new destination.
Accessible via Alicante Airport, Murcia will be available year-round for Summer 2025, Winter 2025/26, and Summer 2026. This move caters to the growing demand for cultural escapes packed with history, cuisine, and sightseeing.
Discovering Murcia
Murcia, a south-eastern Spanish gem, blends medieval charm with modern flair. Visitors can explore stunning architecture, relax in picturesque plazas, and savor local delicacies at cozy tapas bars.
Jet2CityBreaks offers a curated selection of 3- to 4-star hotels in Murcia, perfect for immersing yourself in the city’s cosmopolitan vibe.
With this addition, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will serve 17 sun and city destinations from Bournemouth Airport, including the exclusive destination of Madeira.
The expansion reflects the overwhelming enthusiasm for Jet2’s award-winning flights and Real Package Holidays since the company announced Bournemouth as its 12th UK airport base.
Jet2CityBreaks’ ATOL-protected packages start with a low £60 per person deposit, making travel accessible and stress-free.
