Low fare airline, Jet2.com, has expanded its ski offering from Newcastle with the launch today of a brand new service to Geneva for the 2010/2011 winter sports season.
Along with Jet2.com’s existing Chambery ski route, today’s announcement means that people in the North East have even more choice when it comes to their winter break with Geneva providing the perfect gateway into the Swiss and French Alps.
The Newcastle to Geneva service will operate during peak winter getaway times- from 26th December to 9th January and then from 20th February to 27th March. Flights are on sale now from just £29.99 one way including taxes.
Geneva is the ideal destination for the North East’s ski and snow board lovers with breathtaking scenery, outstanding restaurants and world class entertainment. As well as being a skiers paradise, it is also reputed to be one of the most beautiful and cultural cities in Europe.
Philip Meeson, boss of Jet2.com, said: “Our winter ski flights are extremely popular, with the UK’s ski and snow board enthusiasts unable to resist their annual fix of Europe’s snow-capped mountains. With this growing demand we have increased our services from Newcastle for this season, giving people in the region an even greater choice of winter holiday destination.”
