AFTER the eagerly awaited change in government advice regarding travel to Portugal, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have announced that it will resume its flights and holidays programme to Faro (Algarve) from this Monday, August 24.
The leisure airline and package holiday specialist will recommence flights and holidays to Faro, one of its most popular destinations with customers, from Monday.
The sun-soaked Algarve has continued to experience strong demand from holidaymakers despite the government advice that has been in place.
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will recommence operations to Faro with multiple weekly flights departing from all nine of its UK bases – Belfast International, Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted, Manchester and Newcastle.
The reintroduction of Faro to the company’s programme means that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will operate to two quarantine-free destinations in Portugal this summer.
The company is already operating to Madeira (Funchal) from Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford, Manchester and London Stansted, with the destination also proving very popular with holidaymakers who want to enjoy some much-needed sunshine and escape from the gloom.
The ongoing uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic means that the company has made some adjustments to its flying programme to Portugal, however customers can still enjoy plenty of choice and flexibility.
Where customers have been affected by any programme changes, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has been repeatedly recognised for looking after customers during the pandemic, offering the option to rebook with no admin fee, a Refund Credit Note or a full cash refund.
