For travellers looking for a magical Christmas getaway, easyJet is launching winter flights from London Luton and Edinburgh to Rovaniemi, the gateway to Finnish Lapland.

These routes will launch on December 9 and 3 respectively and will both operate twice a week throughout winter. The new routes join the existing services from London Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester, which are set to prove popular with families visiting the famous home of Santa Claus this winter.

They will leave Glasgow twice a week starting on November 8, and Belfast once a week starting 31 October.

The routes will operate all year round, as well as from Edinburgh twice a week starting November 6 throughout the winter season.

There are flights to North Africa and Egypt

easyJet is the number one carrier from the UK to both Egypt and North Africa. These destinations continue to prove popular with UK holidaymakers for guaranteed winter sun, vast sandy beaches, and their world-renowned coral reefs.

Thousands of brand new packages will be available to Hurghada with easyJet holidays, whose customers can make the most of great value packages to a wide range of hotels on offer. What’s more, packages include flights, hotel, 23kg luggage and transfers on beach holidays.
