easyJet is expanding its UK winter network with three new routes, including the return of direct flights to Kosovo and fresh links to France and Scotland. The low-cost carrier is adding services from Bristol to Strasbourg in eastern France, from London Luton to Pristina in Kosovo, and between Belfast International and Aberdeen, giving travellers more options for both festive breaks and business trips. All three routes are now on sale with one-way fares starting from under £20 including taxes, according to the airline.
The new international services include a Bristol–Strasbourg route, which will launch in late November and operate twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays. easyJet will be the only airline offering a direct service on this route, providing a straightforward link to Strasbourg, a city widely known as the self-styled "Capital of Christmas" thanks to its celebrated markets and seasonal atmosphere. For those heading further east, the carrier is also reinstating flights between London Luton and Pristina, marking the first time in several years that easyJet has offered a direct UK connection to Kosovo.
The London Luton–Pristina route is scheduled to start in early December, operating three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Its return restores a direct low-cost option for travellers visiting friends and family in Kosovo or exploring what the airline is billing as a lesser-known European destination. Fares on the Pristina service start from the lower end of easyJet’s usual pricing scale for winter city routes, with the airline positioning the relaunch as part of a broader push into under-served markets in Eastern Europe.
Domestically, easyJet is adding a new link between Belfast International and Aberdeen from early January, also operating twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays. The airline will again be the sole carrier on this route, connecting two maritime cities with significant energy, shipping and offshore industries as well as growing tourism appeal. With one-way fares on the Belfast–Aberdeen route starting from £18.99, the service is pitched at both business and leisure travellers looking for an affordable, short-hop option.
Alongside flight-only tickets, easyJet holidays has rolled out package deals to all three destinations for those preferring to book flights and accommodation together. In Strasbourg, three-night city-break packages including flights and hotel are being advertised from the mid-£200s per person, which the company is positioning as a competitive option for Christmas market seekers. Package holidays are also available to Aberdeen and Belfast in either direction, giving travellers a bundled alternative to assembling separate bookings for hotels and flights on the new domestic route.
Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK country manager, said the trio of routes underlines the airline’s commitment to broadening its winter offering from British airports. He highlighted the Pristina service as easyJet’s first route from the UK to Kosovo, and framed the overall expansion as a way of increasing choice for customers seeking both short European escapes and improved domestic connectivity. With seats now available through the airline’s website and mobile app, the carrier is aiming to capture early demand from travellers planning winter breaks and New Year trips.
