easyJet<\/a> are still leading the way of the low cost operators with up to 76 flights per day<\/em> from 15 airports across the UK to Geneva, Lyon & Grenoble<\/em> through the season. Changes for their Winter programme to our local airpots are as follow:
Geneva<\/strong> \u2013 No Leeds\/Bradford<\/em> Flights.
Lyon<\/strong> \u2013 No Southend<\/em> Flights but Stansted<\/em> is a new route with flights on Sundays plus Thursday at peak times.

Flybe <\/a>changes to their timetables include a new Saturday & Sunday flight to Chamb\u00e9ry<\/em> but their direct flights to Lyon<\/em> appear to have been stopped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jet2<\/a> looks to have reduced it’s services a litle, dropping Mon\/Thu\/Sun flights to Geneva<\/em> (now Sat only) from East Midlands and dropping all together Grenoble<\/em> from East Midlands. Also no Monday & Friday flights from Birmingham to Geneva<\/em> for Winter 2019 (route covered by easyJet – 2 on a Friday, 1 on a Monday).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryanair<\/a> will just have a Tue & Sun flight to Grenoble<\/em> from Stansted plus a Sat flight from Dublin. Remember from 1st November 2018 unless you pay at least \u00a36 for priority boarding, you’ll only be able to take one handbag-sized bag (to fit under the seat in front of you) into the cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
