New TUI and Jet2 routes: The two new exotic routes launching from East Midlands Airport this May
The routes will begin during the first week of May
If you’re dreaming of a few days in the sun to escape the miserable winter here in England, you’re certainly not the only one.
With seemingly day after day of either wind, rain or freezing temperatures, it can be difficult to stay optimistic.
But the good news is that a week spent somewhere warm can banish those seasonal blues - or at least give you something to look forward to.
If you’re up for trying somewhere a bit different this summer, East Midlands Airport is launching two new routes from May onwards.
Where are the two new destinations?
The new routes will see weekly flights departing from East Midlands Airport to Leros (Greece) and Boa Vista (Cape Verde).
Flights to Leros will be operated by Jet2, while flights to Boa Vista will be operated by TUI.
When do the new routes start?
Flights to Leros will begin on Friday, May 2.
From then on, flights to the Greek island will be on Tuesdays and Fridays until the end of October 2025.
Meanwhile, those looking to take advantage of TUI’s new route to Boa Vista can do so from Saturday, May 3.
Flights will take place every Wednesday and Saturday until the end of October.
