easyJet is expanding its network from London Southend Airport with the launch of three fresh winter routes to Barcelona, Lanzarote, and Salzburg. Fares for the new destinations start at just £29.99, and flights are now open for booking.
Beginning 26 October, flights to Barcelona will run twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays. Lanzarote services are set to take off three times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays—from 27 October. Meanwhile, Salzburg will be added to the winter schedule with Saturday departures starting 6 December.
With these new additions, easyJet now serves 20 destinations from London Southend, where it is also preparing to open a new three-aircraft base. The expanded operation will support around 1,200 jobs, including pilots and cabin crew roles based at the airport.
Barcelona remains a top choice for travellers, thanks to its iconic beaches, rich cultural heritage, and dynamic food scene. From world-class architecture and art to buzzing tapas bars and boutique hotels, the Catalonian capital offers something for every type of visitor.
Lanzarote’s volcanic landscapes and dramatic natural scenery continue to attract holidaymakers year-round. Highlights include the otherworldly terrain of Timanfaya National Park and miles of golden beaches perfect for sun seekers and water sports enthusiasts alike.
Salzburg, famous as the backdrop to The Sound of Music and the birthplace of Mozart, is a gateway to Austria’s alpine region. Whether you’re hitting the slopes or soaking up the festive atmosphere at one of the city’s charming Christmas markets, the new route opens up easy access to a classic winter escape.
Alongside the new routes, easyJet will also extend nine of its popular summer destinations into the winter schedule. Passengers can now travel year-round from London Southend to Gran Canaria, Enfidha, Malta, Faro, Antalya, Tenerife, Marrakech, Malaga, and Palma.
In addition, millions of seats from UK airports—including Southend—are now on sale for winter 2025 travel, covering the period between 15 December 2025 and 22 March 2026.
For those seeking an all-in-one holiday solution, easyJet holidays will offer curated winter sun packages across seven destinations. These include carefully selected hotels, flights, 23kg of luggage, and transfers for beach holidays. Many packages also feature free child places and are backed by Ultimate Flexibility, which provides peace of mind with options to amend bookings, a refund guarantee, and price protection.
With even more destinations, year-round service, and flexible holiday options, easyJet continues to grow its presence at London Southend, delivering more choice and convenience to travellers across the region.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, commented:
