European low-cost carrier Volotea has launched a limited-time promotion that could reshape your spring or summer itinerary. Starting today, the airline releases 500,000 seats priced from €19 each way. Members of the loyalty programme Megavolotea enjoy an even deeper cut, finding tickets for as little as €9. The offer must be booked by 24 September 2026 and can be used for journeys departing between 1 October 2026 and 30 June 2027. This window covers the peak travel period for most European destinations, making it an ideal moment to plan a short break without breaking the bank.
How the promotion works
The sale is straightforward: browse Volotea’s website, select any of the highlighted routes, and confirm the purchase before the deadline. Prices are displayed per leg, so a round-trip will simply double the fare shown. If you are already enrolled in Megavolotea the system automatically applies the €9 rate when you log in. Seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so early booking is advisable, especially for the most popular dates. The promotion covers three distinct itineraries, each linking a major Italian airport to a distinct European region, offering both cultural depth and scenic variety.
Asturies from Bergamo – nature and cider for €19
From Bergamo (which shares the same metropolitan area as Milan), you can fly to the green-hued Spanish region of Asturies for just €19 one-way. Known locally as “Spain’s Green Coast”, the area blends rugged Atlantic beaches with mountainous villages. The capital, Oviedo boasts an elegant historic centre, pre-Romanesque architecture and UNESCO-listed monuments, while nearby Gijón offers a lively promenade, the old quarter of Cimavilla, and numerous sidra bars where you can taste the region’s famous cider. For off-the-beaten-track experiences, consider the stone-built mountain hamlet of Moal, the secluded Playa del Silencio reachable on foot, or the picturesque fishing town of Cudillero. Food lovers should try the hearty fabada stew and the cabbage-based pote. All of this becomes accessible with a budget-friendly ticket, making a weekend or a longer stay equally attractive.
Cologne from Catania – Roman roots and chocolate for €35
The second route links Catania in Sicily with Cologne Germany, at a price of €35 each way. Cologne’s reputation extends beyond its iconic Gothic cathedral; the city’s core is a layered tapestry of Roman, medieval and modern history. Travelers can explore twelve Romanesque churches scattered around the historic centre, while remnants of the ancient Roman wall and gates pepper the streets. For a break from crowds, head to the creative Quartier Belge, a hub of independent cafés, boutique shops and street art. Nature enthusiasts will enjoy the Flora botanical garden, home to more than 12,000 plant species. A stroll along the Rhine, especially through the contemporary Rheinauhafen district, offers fresh perspectives of the city’s skyline. Sweet-tooth visitors should not miss the Cologne Chocolate Museum, where the city’s confectionery heritage is on full display.
Bordeaux from Rome – wine, street art and river walks for €29
The third highlighted connection departs from Rome Fiumicino to Bordeaux for €29 one-way. As the capital of the historic Aquitaine region, Bordeaux blends UNESCO-listed architecture with a vibrant culinary scene centered on world-renowned wines. The modern Darwin district, situated on the right bank of the Garonne, has transformed a former military zone into a lively quarter of street art, design studios and trendy eateries. Culture seekers can delve into the city’s museums, such as the Natural History Museum or the Maritime Museum, while casual wanderers enjoy the riverfront promenades that showcase the city’s elegant façades. Whether you plan a short weekend or a longer exploration of the surrounding vineyards, the low-cost fare makes Bordeaux an attainable destination.
By acting before the 24 September 2026 deadline, travelers can lock in fares that remain valid throughout the 1 Oct 2026–30 Jun 2027 window, turning ordinary weekend plans into memorable trips across Spain, Germany and France.
