Jet2.com has welcomed the news that France will reopen its borders to vaccinated customers arriving from the UK from January 14.

The airline has reported that it has seen an immediate surge in searches and bookings for ski flights.

French ski holidays were left in chaos after France banned UK travellers on December 18.

Now with the news that French holidays are back on for Brits, Scots can jet off to ski resorts with flights from Edinburgh Airport to Chambery from January 22 with Jet2.com

The popular airline also announced they will resume flights to Lyon and Grenoble on the same day as some of the best ski resorts in Europe open up to customers from the UK again.

Today’s announcement means customers heading to the French Alps via Geneva can also look forward to the snow this winter.

Ski flights are already operating to Salzburg, Turin, Innsbruck and Barcelona (Andorra).

On top of that, Jet2.com is offering 10 percent off all ski flights too, whether they are booking for this year or next.

Following the reopening of the French border to vaccinated travellers, Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks will also resume flights and city breaks to Paris from February 11.

Customers travelling on a package holiday with Jet2CityBreaks get to enjoy a great deal too, with £50 off per person on all city breaks booked through Jet2CityBreaks.

The promotion is applicable to all packages on sale for Winter 21/22, Summer 22, Winter 22/23 or Summer 23, meaning holidaymakers can save big and enjoy a holiday they deserve.

All flight or city break bookings must be made by February 8 2021 for these promotions to apply.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays welcomed today’s announcement, saying: “This is the positive news that skiers and snowboarders have been looking forward to, and the spike in bookings for ski flights has been both sharp and immediate.

"The snow conditions in the French Alps are said to be excellent, meaning our customers are jumping at the chance to get back on the slopes."

He adds: "We know how much our customers want to get back to the French Alps and we are very pleased to be flying them there again from next weekend onwards.

"This is yet more great news for the travel industry and further reinforces our already strong belief that 2022 is a year to look forward to with real confidence.”
