easyJet is turning up the heat this winter with the launch of two exciting new routes from London Southend Airport, connecting travellers to the bustling streets of Berlin and the snow-capped peaks of Grenoble. With fares starting at just £19.99, the low-cost carrier is giving winter travellers every reason to book early and escape the cold or embrace it on the slopes.
The announcement marks a significant milestone in easyJet’s growing presence at London Southend, its newest UK base, which now offers 22 routes to destinations across Europe and North Africa. These latest additions not only strengthen easyJet’s commitment to the region but also offer more choice to holidaymakers and city-break seekers in London, Essex, and beyond.
From 7th November, flights to Berlin will take off twice weekly, on Mondays and Fridays, ideal for weekend getaways and midweek breaks. Meanwhile, Grenoble services begin on 14th December, operating every Sunday throughout the festive season — a perfect match for skiers and lovers of Alpine charm.
Berlin is a cultural giant in Europe, home to iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island, and its famous festive Christmas markets. Its eclectic mix of art, history, nightlife, and cuisine make it an unbeatable winter city break.
In contrast, Grenoble — nestled in the heart of the French Alps — offers access to nearly 20 ski resorts, making it a gateway to winter adventure. With four surrounding mountain chains, it’s a snow-sport haven with a charming French backdrop.
This development comes hot on the heels of the March opening of easyJet’s £100m Southend base, which brought three A320neo aircraft and around 1,200 jobs, including 140 direct pilot and cabin crew roles, to the area.
The CEO of London Southend Airport, Jude Winstanley, welcomed the news:
“This winter just got a whole lot more sensational at London Southend Airport. With new easyJet routes to Berlin and Grenoble, passengers can now enjoy even more choice from our easy, speedy, friendly airport.”
easyJet holidays has also launched thousands of new winter package deals, with flexible booking options, price guarantees, and refund protection. Packages to Berlin are now available for the Winter 2025 season, covering flights and accommodation under their Ultimate Flexibility promise.
With its catchment area the size of Switzerland and 8 million people within an hour of the airport, Southend’s popularity continues to soar — and this expansion is a clear signal of easyJet’s confidence in its future.
Whether it’s sipping mulled wine under the lights of Berlin or carving through powder in the French Alps, these new routes bring a world of winter wonder just a short flight away.
