easyJet has launched a time-limited 15% discount on a selection of its Italian-to-European flights. The offer expires at 09:00 on 21 October 2026 and applies to journeys scheduled between 26 October 2026 and 28 February 2027. With fares dropping to single-digit euros on some routes, the airline is turning ordinary winter weeks into opportunities for spontaneous city breaks. Below are three standout itineraries that combine low cost with seasonal charm.
Winter markets at a fraction of the usual price
First, the Milan Malpensa ↔ Strasbourg connection now starts at less than €7. The Alsatian capital reopens its historic Christmas stalls on 27 November offering twinkling lights, handcrafted gifts and mulled wine that make the journey feel like a holiday-season shortcut. The ultra-low fare makes an impromptu weekend in Strasbourg feasible even for travelers on a shoestring budget.
From Rome, a flight to Lyon costs under €25. The French city, renowned for its haute cuisine, also hosts a festive market in Place Carnot from 20 November to 24 December 2026. Visitors can sample pink pralines, regional cheeses and traditional bouchon dishes. A special highlight arrives between 5 and 8 December 2026 when the Fête des Lumières turns the streets into a luminous open-air gallery, featuring animated façades and free light shows.
Naples-to-Bordeaux is priced at under €20. Autumn in the Gironde region paints the city in warm hues, perfect for vineyard tours, riverside walks along the Garonne, and evenings in cozy wine bars. Those who travel later in the season can enjoy Bordeaux’s Christmas market in Place des Quinconces from 27 November to 27 December where a hundred wooden chalets sell seasonal treats, including the iconic canelés. The combination of affordable airfare and festive ambience makes each destination a compelling short-haul option.
Looking ahead: new summer routes that broaden the network
While the discount fuels winter wanderlust, easyJet is already mapping its summer lineup for 2027. The airline will introduce a direct link to Pantelleria the “Black Pearl” of the Mediterranean, from Milan Malpensa on 26 May. Round-trip tickets are priced at €63.98 with two weekly frequencies. A second Mediterranean gateway, Basel, will be served from 29 May at €62.48 and a Naples-to-Pantelleria service begins on 18 June for €53.48 also operating twice a week.
Further north, the French city of Rennes becomes reachable from Milan Malpensa starting 7 May 2027. The round-trip fare of €80.84 includes two weekly departures, opening a convenient corridor to Brittany’s capital. Finally, the Cagliari ↔ London Gatwick route launches on 1 June 2027 with a round-trip price of €107.92 offering travelers a direct bridge between Sardinia and the British capital.
These additions illustrate easyJet’s strategy of pairing low-cost winter promotions with a growing summer portfolio, giving passengers the flexibility to plan both immediate getaways and longer-term vacation ideas without compromising on price.
