Leeds Bradford Airport: Jet2 announces flights to new popular destination from 2027 with special discounts

Jet2 has announced flights to a new destination from Leeds Bradford Airport in 2027.

From February 2027, Jet2 will operate year-round to two hugely popular sunshine destinations in Egypt – Hurghada and Sharm-El-Sheikh.

Jet2 will operate to Hurghada from six UK airports (Birmingham, East Midlands, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted and Manchester) and to Sharm-El-Sheikh from six airports too, Birmingham, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted and Manchester, meaning there are 18 weekly flights on sale and over 4,000 arriving seats per week.

Four of these routes are exclusive to Jet2 - Leeds Bradford to Hurghada, London Stansted to Hurghada, Edinburgh to Sharm-El-Sheikh and Leeds Bradford to Sharm-El-Sheikh.
