Travelers from London Southend Airport can now look forward to two exciting new destinations this winter. easyJet has introduced routes to Berlin and Grenoble, expanding its network to 22 routes from its newest UK base.
These new connections offer direct access to vibrant city breaks and thrilling ski adventures. By booking early, travellers can secure the best fares for the winter 2025 season.
Flights to Berlin will launch on November 7, operating every Monday and Friday. The Grenoble route, perfect for winter sports enthusiasts, begins on December 14, with weekly Sunday flights running through the Christmas period.
Both destinations cater to different tastes: Berlin’s festive Christmas markets and cultural landmarks will appeal to city break lovers.
Meanwhile, Grenoble’s alpine slopes attract skiers and snowboarders. These routes are set to be popular, offering something for everyone this winter.

Grenoble: Gateway to the French Alps
Nestled in the heart of the French Alps, Grenoble is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Surrounded by nearly 20 ski resorts and four stunning mountain ranges, it’s a prime destination for winter sports.
Resorts like Chamrousse and Les Deux Alpes are easily accessible, making Grenoble ideal for skiers of all levels. Beyond the slopes, the city offers a vibrant cultural scene, with charming cafes, museums, and breathtaking mountain views.
Whether carving through fresh powder or soaking in the alpine atmosphere, Grenoble delivers an unforgettable winter escape.

Berlin: A Cultural and Festive Gem
Berlin, one of Europe’s most dynamic capitals, is a must-visit for city break enthusiasts. The city captivates with its vibrant history, iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate, and world-class museums, including those on Museum Island.
Berlin’s nightlife is legendary, with trendy bars and clubs that keep the city buzzing after dark. Foodies will love its diverse culinary scene, from traditional German dishes to global flavours.
During winter, Berlin’s famous Christmas markets, like the one at Gendarmenmarkt, transform the city into a festive wonderland, perfect for a cozy holiday getaway.
easyJet’s Expansion at London Southend
Since opening its new base at London Southend in March, easyJet has been on a rapid growth trajectory.
The base, which houses three A320neo aircraft, supports approximately 1,200 jobs, including 140 direct roles for pilots and cabin crew.
Serving a catchment area of eight million people—roughly the size of Switzerland—London Southend is a strategic hub for UK leisure travel.
The addition of Berlin and Grenoble to its 22-route network strengthens easyJet’s position in the UK market, offering more options for travellers across London, Essex, and East England.
The airline’s focus on leisure destinations across Europe and North Africa ensures something for every type of traveller.

Holiday Packages with easyJet Holidays
For those planning a city break, easyJet holidays offers tailored packages to Berlin for winter 2025. These packages include flights and carefully selected hotels, all backed by easyJet’s Ultimate Flexibility promise.
This includes the freedom to change bookings, a refund guarantee, and a best-price guarantee, giving travellers confidence and flexibility. Whether you’re strolling through Berlin’s markets or exploring its historic sites, these packages make planning a breeze.
Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, gave comment on the winter additions. “We’re delighted to launch these new routes from London Southend, hot on the heels of our base opening in March.”
“Berlin and Grenoble are fantastic winter destinations, offering everything from skiing to Christmas markets. We’re committed to delivering exceptional value and making travel seamless for our customers.”
Jude Winstanley, CEO of London Southend Airport, was pleased with the development. “This winter is set to be sensational at London Southend.”
“With Berlin as our third capital city destination and Grenoble’s ski appeal, we’re giving passengers more choice from our fast, friendly airport. These routes reflect growing confidence in our operations as we expand our network for winter 2025/26.”
Why London Southend Stands Out
London Southend Airport is quickly becoming a favourite for its convenience and efficiency. Its compact design ensures a smooth, stress-free travel experience, with quick check-ins and short walking distances.
With these new routes, the airport solidifies its reputation as a rising star in UK travel, offering easy access to some of Europe’s top destinations.
As London Southend continues to climb, these new easyJet routes signal a bright future. Whether its dreaming of alpine adventures in Grenoble or festive city vibes in Berlin, now is the perfect time to book a winter escape.
