EasyJet Announces 9 New Routes for Winter 2026
EasyJet has revealed a series of new routes for the upcoming winter season, including two departures from London airports and the airline's longest-ever flight. The low-cost carrier is expanding its network with services to popular European destinations and a tropical paradise.
Longest-Ever Route to Cape Verde
EasyJet is launching its longest-ever flight, connecting Amsterdam to the island of Sal in Cape Verde. The route spans 2,503 nautical miles (4,636 km) and takes approximately 7 hours and 20 minutes. Flights will be available from October 2026, with one-way fares starting at £120. This service offers British travellers a new option for a winter sun getaway, with pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters.
