Just over a month after announcing Samos, Greece as a brand-new destination for Summer 26, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays have today expanded the programme and put flights and holidays on sale to the island from Birmingham Airport.
Following continued demand from customers and independent travel agents looking for some Greek sunshine, the leading leisure airline and the UK’s largest tour operator have added a third route to Samos, with flights and holidays now available from Birmingham Airport.
The new Greek destination is now on sale for Summer 26 from three UK airport bases – Birmingham, Manchester and London Stansted Airports – with all routes being exclusive to the companies.
From Birmingham Airport, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will operate a weekly Monday service to Samos from 4th May to 26th October 2026, representing nearly 10,000 extra seats on sale.
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will operate to a total of 15 airports across Greece in Summer 26, making them the biggest operator to Greece from the UK.
These include Athens (operating all year round), Corfu, Chania (Crete), Heraklion (Crete), Kefalonia, Halkidiki, Kos, Kalamata, Lesvos, Preveza, Rhodes, Skiathos, Santorini and Zante.
When travelling to Samos, holidaymakers can also choose from over 30 new 3-5-star hotels that Jet2holidays has on sale across the laid-back island.
The hotels are available to book now and are located in the sun-kissed resorts of Samos Town, Kampos, Kokkari, Pythagorion, Karlovasi and Balos.
The beautiful Greek island of Samos lies just off the coast of Turkey and is bursting with charm, from its golden-grained beaches to its lush green hills.
