Four new flight routes from the North East have been added - with tickets starting at just £27.

EastJet has said that it has relaunched flights from Newcastle Airport to Amsterdam, providing passengers with more choice when it comes to travelling to the destination.

The first flight to the Netherlands’ capital departed on September 5, 2024, and the service will initially operate twice weekly before increasing to daily from October 27. 

Amsterdam is home to picturesque canals, historic architecture and a vibrant arts scene, and visitors can explore the city’s world-famous landmarks such as the Anne Frank House,  Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum. 

Seats are available to book on easyJet.com and via the airline’s mobile app, with fares starting from £26.99 one way. 

All of the locations that are new from Newcastle: 

  • Amsterdam
  • Geneva
  • Paris
  • Lyon

The new route marks an exciting expansion of easyJet’s offerings from Newcastle Airport, with new flights to Paris operating up to six days a week from October 27. 

Flights to Geneva in Switzerland will also increase to three times weekly across some of the winter season, while a new weekly service to Lyon in the southeast of France will operate during January and February 2025 - with both destinations providing more flight options for passengers during the ski season.
