Jet2.com Adds to Barcelona Links from Manchester

UK low-fare airline Jet2.com is to introduce a fifth weekly flight on the Manchester – Barcelona route during summer 2012 following strong ticket sales on the route. The carrier will also offer a link from the North West UK airport to Reus, situated just south of Barcelona on the Costa Daurada and an ideal choice for those seeking a ‘sea and sand’ break but maybe also a day trip to the bright lights of Barcelona. The company is offering its own direct seat only sales as well as package holiday via its sister company Jet2holidays.

“Since we launched our 2012 flights to Barcelona, we’ve had strong demand,” explained Ian Doubtfire, Managing Director, Jet2.com. “Meanwhile, our flights to Reus give people even more flexibility, to explore the surrounding area of the Costa Daurada and the popular PortAventura theme park, as well as enabling them to get to their final holiday destination as speedily as possible.”

Jet2.com is not the only airline currently offering flights to this region of Spain from Manchester Airport; Monarch Airlines also has a daily service to Barcelona. In the past year an estimated 102,000 O&D passengers travelled between Manchester and Barcelona.
