easyJet is having a busy November. In just three days, the UK's biggest low-cost carrier launched seven new routes from five British airports, adding winter-sun spots, Christmas-market cities and even a couple of connections that have never existed before.
The changes come against a tricky backdrop: the airline has reportedly trimmed around 1.3 to 1.4 million seats from its winter network amid high jet fuel prices. But where it's cutting, it's also adding — and the additions are genuinely varied.
Newcastle gains three of the new routes: Kraków four times a week, Marrakesh twice weekly for the winter, and a twice-weekly Copenhagen service from 5 November aimed squarely at the Christmas-market crowd. Liverpool gets a twice-weekly link to Keflavík for Iceland trips, while Manchester welcomes a twice-weekly Nuremberg route — notable because the city's famous Christmas market is one of Europe's oldest, and the route has had no nonstop service since Ryanair dropped it in 2019.
Two of the launches are first-ever connections. London Southend now flies to Belfast City three times a week (Mondays, Fridays and Sundays), restoring a Northern Ireland link from the Essex airport after 12 years away — easyJet previously served Belfast International from Southend until 2014. And from 5 November, London Luton gains a twice-weekly service to Rabat, making easyJet the only airline flying to Morocco from Luton. It already serves Marrakesh and Agadir from Southend, and across the London airports it's offering roughly 33 weekly Morocco flights this winter.
More is on the way. Edinburgh to Tromsø — a prime Northern Lights destination — is coming, as is Southend to Sharm el-Sheikh. Budapest gets three new routes this month, from Bristol and Belfast International (17 November) and Liverpool (19 November). And on 19 December, easyJet launches its first international service from the Isle of Man: a once-weekly Saturday flight to Geneva, the island's only direct link to Switzerland since Flybe ended the route in 2020.
For travellers, this is a genuinely useful batch of winter options. If you want festive markets, Kraków, Nuremberg and Copenhagen are all now reachable from regional UK airports without trekking to London. If you'd rather chase winter sun, Marrakesh and Rabat are newly accessible from the North East and Luton, while Sharm el-Sheikh returns to Southend. Northern Lights hunters get a fresh Edinburgh–Tromsø link, and Iceland is back from Liverpool. Best of all, several routes start from smaller airports like Southend, Newcastle and the Isle of Man, which usually means shorter queues and easier mornings than the big London hubs. Just book early — competition on these routes is mixed, and some are seasonal only, so frequencies may shift once winter ends.
