Back to newsJet2 has announced a significant expansion of its summer 2027 schedule from London Luton Airport, adding five new destinations including Chania in western Crete. The new Luton to Chania route provides an additional gateway for British travellers heading to the island, complementing existing services from other UK airports. Chania is one of Crete's most popular entry points, with easy access to the island's western region including the Samaria Gorge, Balos lagoon, and the old Venetian harbour. Jet2 is also extending its season on existing Greek routes for 2027, reflecting strong demand for Greek island travel from the UK. Travellers planning a Crete trip in summer 2027 should monitor Jet2's Luton departures as an alternative to Heraklion-based routes, particularly if staying in the Chania or Rethymno areas.
