easyJet has announced a new route from Bristol Airport to Marrakech with tickets going on sale for as low as £33 via their mobile app. The new route and brand new package holidays will take off from October 31, 2023 with bookings opening yesterday (May 25).
The flights, which will operate twice a week all year round, will head to the increasingly popular North African destination known for its stunning Moorish architecture, colourful souks, charming gardens and riads. From Bristol the flight time is about three and a half hours, making it a perfect choice for some autumn or winter sun outside of the scorching summer months.
The new route is among nine which were announced by easyJet, which will have new routes taking off from nine different airports around the country. These will include destinations such as France, Morocco, Tunisia and Iceland, as well as around the UK.
