JET2 has put its Summer 2028 programme from Belfast International Airport on sale earlier than ever in response to customer demand, with many holidaymakers already looking ahead to fun in the sun for 2028.
The airline and tour operator is the first to launch Summer 2028 getaways, giving customers and independent travel agents the chance to plan ahead and secure their preferred destinations, dates, accommodation and rooms.
From Belfast International Airport, the programme includes flights and holidays to 21 destinations, with more than 618,000 seats on sale and up to 56 departing weekly flights during peak periods.
Exciting news for Northern Ireland holidaymakers is the addition of a new exclusive route from Belfast International Airport to Bourgas on Bulgaria’s beautiful Black Sea coast – with a weekly Wednesday service operating from July 5 to October 4, 2028.
Situated on Bulgaria’s beautiful Black Sea coast, Bourgas is fast becoming one of Europe’s must-visit seaside escapes with its irresistible blend of sun, sea, culture and nightlife – not to mention great value for money.
With access to the popular resort of Sunny Beach and the UNESCO-listed old town of Nessebar, Bourgas is a vibrant seaside city where golden beaches, buzzing waterfront bars and leafy parks meet a rich mix of culture, history and laid-back Mediterranean-style living.
Holidaymakers can stroll through Bourgas’ picturesque Sea Garden, soak up the atmosphere around the lively harbour, discover ancient churches and historic sites, or enjoy authentic Bulgarian cuisine and local wines.
The scale of the Jet2’s new programme gives holidaymakers across Northern Ireland plenty of choice and flexibility when planning their Summer 2028 break, with destinations across the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, mainland Spain, Portugal, Greece, Türkiye (Turkey) and more.
Customers can also book with confidence thanks to the award-winning customer service and Jet2 is known for. Those looking to book ahead for Summer 2028can now book with a £60 per person deposit and spread the cost through interest-free monthly payments, just as they can for other seasons on sale such as Summer 27 and Winter 27/28.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Je2, said: “We are already hearing from customers asking when they can book for Summer 2028, so we’ve responded by putting the programme on sale nice and early. We know our Northern Irish customers work hard for their well-deserved holidays, and this exciting announcement gives them something to look forward to.”
He added: “By booking early, customers have the best choice when it comes to where they want to go and when they want to travel. Early bookers also get the pick of the best hotels, which are always the first to sell out, as well as the best rooms such as family rooms, interconnecting rooms and rooms with a sea view, which fill up quickly too. With 2028 being a particularly special summer for us as we celebrate 25 years of Jet2, we look forward to showcasing our industry-leading customer service and helping our holidaymakers create unforgettable memories.”
