EasyJet has put eight new winter routes on sale covering Egypt, Finland, France and Switzerland.
Twice-weekly flights from Luton and Edinburgh to Rovaniemi, known as the gateway to Finnish Lapland, will begin on December 9 and December 3 respectively.
Four new routes are launching from the UK to Hurghada on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, while additional winter routes from Liverpool to Lyon and from Southend to Geneva are also now on sale.

EasyJet’s UK country manager Ali Gayward said: “We’re delighted to be launching even more new routes and holidays from our airports across the UK to a range of fantastic destinations, providing even more choice for our customers this winter whether they’re looking for a Christmas getaway, hitting the slopes or chasing the winter sun and we can’t wait to welcome more customers on board.”
Liverpool, Glasgow and Belfast will fly all year round to Hurghada, while Edinburgh will operate a twice-a-week service through the winter starting on November 6. Liverpool’s twice-a-week flights start on October 29 and Glasgow’s on November 8, while Belfast’s once-a-week service begins on October 31.
The new routes to Rovaniemi join existing services from Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester. EasyJet said the Lapland flights are “set to prove popular with families visiting the famous home of Santa Claus this winter”.
The eight new winter routes announced on July 6 are in addition to the nine unveiled in May.
Of the new eight, easyJet holidays is offering new packages on six.
