Jet2 marks decade of winter flights to New York

Jet2 and Jet2CityBreaks has marked a decade of running seasonal New York flights.

An October school half-term departure from Leeds Bradford airport on Friday took off with special celebrations ten years since the first flight to US city took off in 2008.

The company is operating 28 New York trips from six UK bases, covering half term, Thanksgiving, Christmas and new year’s eve against four in winter 2008.

Packages from Leeds Bradford with Jet2CityBreaks start at £499 per person, with Jet2.com flight only options leading in at £219pp, including taxes.

Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks CEO Steve Heapy said: “We started operating New York flights ten years ago, and their popularity has never been anything short of exceptional, especially since we started operating dedicated trips with Jet2CityBreaks.

“We couldn’t let this milestone pass without celebrating in true Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks style, so we made sure our customers took off to the Big Apple feeling even more excited thanks to this fantastic send off.”
