It’s the last day to enjoy easyJet and easyJet holidays offering of Greggs sausage rolls in celebration of their new base in Newcastle.
The weird and wonderful flavours, inspired by new easyJet holiday destinations include a spin on the French classic Tarte Tatin, an original twist on the much-loved Spanish Sangria as well as a Kebab-inspired flavour that delivers a taste of Turkey.
easyJet cabin crew have already been turning heads, serving up a taste of their new destinations at some of North East’s most famous landmarks including the Tyne Bridge, St James’ Park and the Angel of the North.
Throughout this week, Geordies had the chance to get their hands on the free limited-edition dipping sauces with a special easyJet cabin crew service landing in Newcastle city centre.
The new range of easyJet and easyJet holidays Destination Dips include:
- Indulge in Italy with Silky Affogato – Intense deep roasted coffee, decadent cocoa, and aromatic vanilla bean. A classic Italian treat.
- Fly away to France with tangy tarte tatin – The comforting taste of caramelised apple and warm cinnamon, with a delicate hint of thyme. A sophisticated patisserie classic.
- Transported to Tunisia with spicy harissa ketchup – Vibrant and exotic, this sweet-and-spicy ketchup blends rich tomato, sweet date, and tangy pomegranate.
- Soar off to Spain with snappy sangria – Bursting with red wine, zesty orange, and tangy cranberry. All the vibrant spirit of Spanish Sangria.
- Take off to Turkey with saucy kebab – Aromatic and authentic, featuring zesty lemon, tangy vinegar, and smoky paprika. A total Turkish delight.
The new base at Newcastle Airport will be home to three easyJet aircraft, supporting around 1,200 jobs, including 140 direct roles for pilots and cabin crew.
The airline is now offering 86 flights per week to 22 leisure destinations across Europe and North Africa – a 85% increase vs. last summer, including new routes taking to Antalya, Corfu, Dalaman, Enfidha, Faro, Lisbon, Malta, Nice, Prague, Reus, Rhodes, Rome, Sharm-El-Sheikh, and Tenerife.
Newcastle is easyJet’s 11th UK base opening, following the launch of London Southend Airport last year and Birmingham in 2024, as the airline continues its trajectory of UK regional growth and offering more direct connectivity and choice for customers in the UK.
The new base provides over 800,000 seats for holidays customers to choose from when planning their getaway for this summer, with packages including flights and hotel, as well as 23kg luggage and transfers on beach breaks.
