Transavia Announces Exciting Summer 2026 Schedule More Sunshine, More Gelato, More Excuses to Pack That Swimsuit

While the rest of us are still arguing about whether pumpkin spice season starts in August or September, Transavia is already thinking summer 2026. Yep, the Dutch low-cost darling has flung open its booking window for the April–October season, and it’s basically a masterclass in “how to chase the sun.”

From Sardinia to Sicily, from Greek islands to Egyptian beaches, Transavia’s schedule looks like it was put together by someone with a Pinterest board titled Mediterranean Dreaming. And let’s be honest—aren’t we all that person deep down?

New Routes, New Excuses

Kicking things off are the shiny new scheduled routes:

• Amsterdam–Alghero (Sardinia): Because your Instagram feed definitely needs another beach with turquoise water and pastel-colored houses.
• Amsterdam–Palermo (Sicily): Perfect for mixing cannoli with culture, and maybe a mafia movie rewatch on the flight over.
• Eindhoven–Olbia (Sardinia): Great news for Brabanders—no more sneaky drives to Schiphol just to get to paradise.
• Rotterdam–Catania (Sicily): Rotterdam folks, you can now swap cube houses for Mount Etna. Fair trade, right?

Basically, Transavia is doubling down on Italy—because nothing says “holiday” like pasta followed by gelato followed by regret, followed by more pasta.

From Charter to Click-and-Book

In another plot twist, Transavia is making charter routes bookable directly. Translation: you don’t need to sell a kidney to get a package deal—you can just grab the flight and DIY the rest.

Here’s what’s now up for grabs:

• Greek islands galore: Skiathos, Karpathos, and Lesbos. If you can’t pronounce them after two ouzos, don’t worry—you’re in the right place.
• Egyptian classics: Hurghada and Marsa Alam. Guaranteed sun, coral reefs, and the occasional camel photo bomb.
• Turkey’s favorite beach club: Antalya. Think mega resorts, hammams, and bazaars big enough to lose your partner in.

It’s like Transavia went shopping in a “top 10 holiday spots” list and just bought the lot.

Mediterranean Obsession (and Brussels Too)

Notice a theme? Yep, Transavia’s heart beats Mediterranean. Sardinia, Sicily, Greece, Egypt, Turkey—the only thing missing is a route to a vineyard in Provence with unlimited rosé service. (Give it time.)

And let’s not forget, it’s not just Amsterdam hogging the fun. Eindhoven, Rotterdam, and Brussels are also getting in on the action. Because apparently, sunshine is a basic human right, not just a Randstad luxury.

Why This Matters (Besides Your Tan)

On paper, this is about network growth, strengthening Transavia’s position, blah blah blah. But for the rest of us, it means cheaper, easier ways to justify a holiday. With flights spread across the Netherlands and Belgium, there are fewer excuses left for not taking that Sardinian escape or Greek island-hopping adventure.

Also, by expanding into Egypt and Turkey, Transavia is giving winter-weary travelers what they crave most: guaranteed Vitamin D. Because let’s face it, Dutch summers are about as reliable as an IKEA Allen key.

The Bottom Line

Transavia’s summer 2026 schedule is like one giant Mediterranean buffet: Sardinia, Sicily, Greek islands, Egypt, Turkey—you name it, it’s there. Add in multiple departure points (Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, and Brussels), and you’ve got sunshine practically gift-wrapped.

So whether you’re team “lazy beach holiday,” team “ancient ruins and culture,” or team “drink Aperol until you forget your PIN code,” Transavia has you covered.

Summer 2026: more routes, more sun, fewer excuses.

Now go ahead—dust off the suitcase, practice your Italian hand gestures, and start arguing over whether to pack flip-flops and hiking boots. Transavia’s already planned the holiday; you just have to show up.
