Airline and tour operator Jet2 has brought forward the start of its Summer 23 season to one of Turkey's most popular resorts with flights operating early. Trips to Bodrum from Birmingham, Manchester and London Stansted Airports will take-off from April 3 to offer more choice and flexibility for holidaymakers.
The addition of these new flights, as well as a choice of hotels that are ready to book from early-April onwards, comes in response to customers looking to grab a slice of early summer sun. Hotels on sale include the 4* family favourite Bodrum Holiday Resort & Spa, the 4* Maxeria Blue Didyma, the 4* Parkim Ayaz as well as the 4* Very Chic, amongst many more.
Despite disruption affecting the travel industry in recent weeks, Jet2.com has not cancelled any flights due to staff shortages.
The announcement comes as Jet2.com and Jet2holidays confirms it has worked alongside government, hoteliers and partners in Turkey to bring more holidaymakers to the stunning destination. The additional services mean Jet2.com and Jet2holidays are operating up to seven weekly services to Bodrum during April 2023. The April programme is as follows:
Birmingham
- Introduction of Monday and Friday services from April 3, 2023, means up to two weekly services available from the base in April.
Manchester
- An earlier start to the Summer 23 season, means up to two weekly services (Thursday and Sunday) now available from the base from April 6. This increases to up to three weekly services (Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) from April 15 onwards.
London Stansted
- Up to two weekly services (Monday and Friday) operating from April 3 onwards.
Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are delighted to be bringing forward the start of the Summer season to Bodrum and offering flights and holidays to this popular destination from April 2023 from Birmingham, Manchester and London Stansted Airports.
"The earlier start to the season has been done in conjunction with our partners in Turkey who we have worked hard with to make this happen and is a result of a successful partnership. By working in conjunction with the Turkish government, hoteliers and our partners, we are able to extend the season to Bodrum by offering flights and holidays from the beginning of April for the first time ever."
