EasyJet Expands UK Winter Network with Kosovo Route Revival and Two New European Connections

The budget carrier confirms three new routes for winter 2026/27, linking London Luton with Pristina, Bristol with Strasbourg, and Belfast with Aberdeen.

EasyJet has announced a significant expansion to its UK winter schedule, confirming three new routes that will strengthen both international and domestic connectivity for British travellers. The additions include the return of flights between the UK and Kosovo, a new direct link to one of France's most celebrated Christmas destinations, and an improved connection between Northern Ireland and Scotland. Flights across the three routes will launch between November 2026 and January 2027, offering passengers fresh options for winter city breaks, festive getaways and trips to visit friends and family.

Among the standout additions is the return of easyJet's route connecting London Luton with Pristina, marking the airline's comeback to UK–Kosovo flying. Services begin on 7 December 2026, operating three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The route offers travellers in London and the surrounding regions a direct option for reaching Kosovo's capital, a city known for its historic sites, thriving café culture and access to the country's mountainous landscapes. One-way fares on the new service start from £43.99 per person, including taxes.

EasyJet is also introducing a new direct service between Bristol Airport and Strasbourg in France, with flights starting on 20 November 2026. The route will operate twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays, making it well suited to short winter breaks and long weekends. EasyJet will be the only airline flying directly between the two cities. Strasbourg is particularly popular during the festive period, drawing visitors with its renowned Christmas markets, historic old town and distinctive Alsatian architecture. Fares on the new route start from £49.99 one way per person, including taxes.

The latest announcement forms part of easyJet's broader expansion of its winter network from airports across the UK. Rather than concentrating growth around London's largest hubs, the new routes spread added connectivity across the South West, Northern Ireland and the capital, giving regional travellers greater access to European and domestic destinations alike. The Pristina service broadens the choice available to those looking beyond traditional winter city-break destinations, while Strasbourg offers an appealing option for a festive escape and the Belfast–Aberdeen link strengthens ties between the UK's nations. Flights across all three routes have now gone on sale.

As airlines continue to expand their schedules for the upcoming winter period, travellers are being presented with a growing range of flight options for both European getaways and domestic journeys. These latest additions reflect a wider trend of carriers strengthening regional connectivity across the UK, moving beyond the traditional focus on major hubs. With more destinations now within easy reach, winter 2026/27 looks set to offer plenty of choice for those planning a trip.
