Flights to Dortmund will operate five times a week starting from £27.99 -the destination is well-known for being the home Westfalenstadion , Germany’s largest stadium.

Journeys to Bordeaux, the world capital of wine, will be four times a week from £22.99.

For anyone wanting to head to Greece, the first flights will be from Luton to Zakynthos (aka Zante), which will start on May, 13 2026.

These will be twice-weekly and start from £44.99.

Zakynthos is a well-known summer resort with a famous shipwreck attraction on Navagio Beach.

The MV Panagiotis ran aground in 1980, it sits on the sandy shores and has become a well-known spot for taking holiday snaps.

On June 7, 2026 flights to both Mykonos and Rhodes will begin.

Mykonos will have flights three times a week with prices starting from £44.99.

The island is known for being glamorous and brings in celebrity visitors who love exploring its luxury resorts and beautiful beaches.

But it doesn’t have to be expensive, as one writer who has been visiting for 30 years discovered.

For ways to do Mykonos on a budget, here are activities you can do for free and where to find the most popular beaches that also avoid sun-lounger fees.

Rhodes will have twice-weekly flights also priced from £44.99.

The island is known for its rich history as well as having traditional villages, as one writer discovered when he visited Rhodes’s east coast.

The last flights to start next year will be to Chania in Crete, which will operate twice-weekly from June 8, 2026 with tickets from £44.99.

Chania is a city on the northwestern coast of Crete which is known for being 4,000 years old and is a mix of Venetian, Greek and Ottoman architecture, as one writer discovered.

Crete is Greece’s biggest island, offers ancient culture, delicious cuisine and some of the cheapest pints on the Med.

And of course there’s the stunning turquoise swimming spots teeming with colourful marine life.

Yvonne Moynihan, Managing Director at Wizz Air UK, stated:  “With holidaymakers already dreaming of their 2026 getaways, we’ve got an early Christmas gift for our customers: six brand-new routes from our London Luton base!

“These exciting additions will whisk travellers away to some of Europe’s most-loved destinations, including Greece’s stunning beaches. As London’s low-cost airline, we’re all about making those dream holidays affordable and accessible.

“And with our 14th aircraft joining the fleet at London Luton Airport, we’re giving UK customers even more flexibility and choice, because nothing says “Merry Christmas” like more holidays to look forward to.”
