Jet2holidays’ New York festive shopping trip is back!

28 March 2012

Package holiday specialist, Jet2holidays, has announced the return of its hugely successful New York Christmas Shopping Break direct from Glasgow Airport – reintroduced following the overwhelming success of last year’s inaugural trip.     

The three night weekend break to the city that never sleeps, is available for £699 per person, including return flight, 10kg hand baggage and three-star hotel accommodation.  Shopaholics can secure their festive package holiday for a wallet friendly deposit of just £60 per person.  

Jet2.com’s return flight to the Big Apple is also available from £415.89 per person, including taxes. The flight will leave from Glasgow for a shopping weekend on Thursday 15th November, returning Sunday 18th November.   

Steve Heapy, Managing Director of Jet2holidays and Chief Commercial Officer of Jet2.com, said: “Following the huge success of our first ever transatlantic trip from Glasgow airport last year, we are delighted to be making our festive weekend shopping break available again.  There has been overwhelming demand from Glasgow customers for this route to be reintroduced, as they enjoy the convenience of a direct service to the Big Apple.  We recognise times are tough so want to make it as easy as possible for people to secure and plan ahead for this much anticipated break, hence launching these trips even earlier.   

“There really is no place quite like New York in the run up to Christmas.  Whether it’s skating in Central Park, treating the kids in FAO Schwarz, soaking up the atmosphere in Times Square or taking in a Broadway show, I’d encourage people to book now so they don’t miss out on a magical trip of a lifetime direct from their region.”

Francois Bourienne, Commercial Director at Glasgow Airport, said “No other city does Christmas quite like New York and following the success of last year, we are delighted Jet2.com has decided to launch its 2012 New York Christmas package.

The three day break provides  a wonderful  opportunity to experience something that little bit special this Christmas. I’m confident the flight will prove a sure hit with its customers in Scotland.”

Both Jet2holidays and Jet2.com customers can take advantage of the airline’s generous 22kg baggage allowance – perfect for bringing back all those shopping bargains – which can be purchased at the time of booking.
