Jet2 launches flights to ‘unspoiled’ Spanish gem with golden sandy beaches and it’s 25C in May

Jet2 has launched new flights to a gorgeous Spanish city in an ‘unspoiled corner’ of the Mediterranean country. 

The holiday company is set to offer flights and holidays from Birmingham and Manchester to sunny Jerez in Spain.

Weekly flights will run from Birmingham to Jerez every Friday up until October 31 2025 with a weekly route from Manchester every Saturday until November 1 2025. 

Holidaymakers will also be able to fly to Jerez with Jet2 from Leeds Bradford with a weekly Tuesday service launching on May 6. 

Jet2 says: ‘Also known as the ‘Coast of Light’, the Costa de la Luz is a stunning spot on the south-western coast of Spain, making it the perfect choice for a sun-kissed holiday.  

‘This unspoiled corner of Spain offers stretches of sandy beaches and rich Andalusian history, packed with authentic culture. 

‘Renowned for its bustling markets, impressive architecture and luscious green countryside, the Costa de la Luz is also known for its Mediterranean climate, exciting excursions and first-class golf courses.’ 

The southern Spanish city of Jerez is renowned for sherry, which is exclusively produced in the region.
