The ultimate Manchester bucket list: from the UK’s longest indoor ski slope to the city’s oldest library

Jet2 has announced two new flights from Manchester Airport for Eurovision fans looking to travel to Bourgas, Bulgaria, for the 2027 contest. To support customers heading to Bourgas for Eurovision week, Jet2 has added two new Manchester Airport departures on Sunday 9^th and Sunday 16^th May, with seats on sale now.

This gives customers the flexibility to travel ahead of the Semi-Finals, arrive in time for the Grand Final weekend, or extend their stay in Bourgas.

The new Manchester Airport departures are part of Jet2’s wider announcement of additional Eurovision flights to Bourgas from selected UK airports, giving customers and independent travel agents in the region even more choice when planning Eurovision travel.

What to expect in Bourgas
