Jet2 gets on song with extra Eurovision flights

Jet2 is adding flights for Eurovision fans looking to travel to Burgas in Bulgaria for the 2027 contest.

Additional departures to the Black Sea location from Birmingham, East Midlands, Glasgow and Manchester airports have been scheduled.

The flights are timed around the semi-finals of the contest on May 11 and May 13 as well as the final on May 15.

The expanded programme means flights are now available from 11 UK airports including Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, Newcastle and Stansted.

The contest will be staged at Arena Burgas, Bulgaria’s newest sports and entertainment venue.

Jet2 chief customer officer David Hills said: “Eurovision is one of the most exciting events in the entertainment calendar, and with additional departures from Birmingham, East Midlands, Glasgow and Manchester airports, we are giving UK fans even more opportunities to travel to Burgas for the 2027 contest.

“With flights from 11 UK airports, six exclusive routes and a choice of departure dates across Eurovision week, customers and independent travel agents have more choice and flexibility than ever when planning their trip, whether they are travelling for the semi-finals, the grand final or a longer stay.”
