Lorraine Kent was onboard the first flight to Majorca for a getaway with her family when she was announced as the lucky winner of a seven-night Jet2holiday to the five-star Liberty Signa in Turkey for two adults and two children.

Celebrations were in the air to mark the leading leisure airline and tour operator’s inaugural flight taking off from their 13th UK airport base – London Luton Airport. As well as the holiday giveaway, the occasion was marked with a VIP customer experience to put holidaymakers at the very heart of the celebrations, including a red-carpet welcome, refreshments and gifts.

Customers were also entertained by a Spanish guitarist as they waited to board the inaugural flight, and ten customers were gifted a free pair of return flights with Jet2.com at check-in.

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ official arrival in Luton further expands the companies’ presence in the South of England and means holidaymakers and independent travel agents across London, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire can now experience the companies’ award-winning flights and ATOL protected package holidays conveniently from their local airport.

Two of the new routes, Girona and Verona, are exclusive to Jet2.com and Jet2holidays from London Luton Airport.

After being gifted the free holiday, Lorraine said: “We have had such a fantastic morning thanks to all the celebrations Jet2 had in store for us at the airport, and it was made even more special when I was named as the lucky winner of a luxury family holiday to Turkey. I still can’t believe it, and this great news has got our holiday to Majorca off to the best possible start. I’m looking forward to taking my family away using the holiday voucher and travelling again with Jet2 from London Luton Airport.”

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “Celebrations have been in the air to get our brand-new programme from London Luton Airport off to a flying start.
