Transavia Announces Exciting Summer 2026 Schedule

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.

Lufthansa Group

Lufthansa Group unveils Exciting Winter 2025/26 flight schedule

Lufthansa Group unveils Exciting Winter 2025/26 flight schedule

If your idea of a perfect winter includes hot chocolate, snow-covered mountains, and a spontaneous trip to Tokyo or the Seychelles—then great news: the Lufthansa Group just dropped its Winter 2025/26 flight schedule like it’s the season’s hottest new Netflix show.

The group’s star-studded cast—Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, SWISS, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, and Discover Airlines—have all signed on for a winter full of shiny new routes, upgraded cabins, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. Flights kick off from October 26, and you can already book your seat before that one indecisive friend ruins your travel plans.

Lufthansa: A350s, Allegris, and a Cabin Makeover That Would Impress Marie Kondo

Let’s start with the headliner: Lufthansa. This winter, they’re giving their long-haul fleet a makeover with the sleek new Allegris cabins, because apparently, even airplanes deserve spa days. The upgrade covers every cabin class—from Economy (where your knees may now rejoice) to First Class (where you basically get a hotel suite in the sky).

And they’re not being shy about it. Ten fancy Airbus A350-900s with Allegris are flying out of Munich daily to the likes of New York (both JFK and Newark, because Lufthansa doesn’t pick sides), Chicago, Miami, Tokyo, Cape Town, and Shanghai. Bengaluru gets three weekly flights, which is perfect if you’re craving sunshine and tech startups.

Meanwhile, Frankfurt gets in on the glam with Allegris debuting on the Boeing 787-9 and those big, beautiful 747-8s (the ones that look like they belong in a museum but still rock the skies).

Lufthansa’s also keeping some summer newcomers—Bydgoszcz (Poland) and Oradea (Romania)—through winter. Oh, and the Airbus A380 is sticking around in Munich for its greatest hits tour to LA, San Francisco, Bangkok, and Delhi, because passengers love it and so do the flight crews (and frankly, we all enjoy walking upstairs mid-flight just because we can).

Austrian Airlines: Moving Milan, Doubling Down on Bangkok

Austrian Airlines is channeling their inner travel influencer by increasing flights from Vienna to Bangkok to up to twice daily—perfect for those who prefer pad thai over strudel in January.

And for anyone tired of dragging themselves across Milan’s endless airport hallways, good news: Austrian is switching flights from Malpensa to the much more central Linate Airport, aka Milan’s version of “actually convenient.”

They’re also expanding Innsbruck’s international menu, now offering flights to Amsterdam, in addition to Brussels, Warsaw, and Copenhagen. So yes, your ski trip just got some extra culture baked in.

SWISS: Eastern Europe and Alpine Access for the Ski-Happy

SWISS is focusing on Eastern Europe and snow-chasers. Routes to Krakow, Cluj-Napoca, and Košice return like seasonal favorites, and Washington D.C. gets added back to Zurich’s long-haul list—because nothing says winter quite like Swiss precision meeting Capitol Hill gridlock.

Out of Geneva, they’re boosting flights to Ireland, the UK, and Scandinavia, mostly to accommodate the incoming flood of people who just realized the Swiss Alps > any Zoom background.

Brussels Airlines: All In on Africa

Brussels Airlines is quietly becoming the go-to airline if your travel bucket list includes West Africa. They’re adding more flights to Togo, Senegal, Guinea, Liberia, Ghana, and Sierra Leone—basically reinforcing their title as Lufthansa Group’s African network MVP.

Eurowings: Turning Berlin into a Desert Gateway

Eurowings is feeling fancy. This winter, they’ll fly three times a week to Abu Dhabi from Berlin, making it the capital’s third long-haul destination after Dubai and Jeddah. Berlin–Dubai also gets a frequency boost (up to 11 times a week), probably because Berliners realized it’s warmer there.

Plus: HanoverDubai, StuttgartJeddah, and new Marsa Alam flights from Cologne, Hamburg, and Berlin. Basically, if there’s sun involved, Eurowings is taking you there.

Discover Airlines: Seychelles and Snow in the Same Schedule

Last but not least, Discover Airlines is really living up to its name. This winter, they’re launching direct flights from Frankfurt to the Seychelles—because yes, you do deserve that tropical escape after surviving German winter.

Other highlights? MunichPunta Cana (sun, rum, done) and a chilly new route to Alta, Norway, for those who enjoy snowflakes and Northern Lights more than sunburn and sand.

Bottom line? Lufthansa Group’s winter schedule is stacked. Whether you’re chasing sun, snow, schnitzel, or a better seat in business class, they’ve got you covered—Allegris and all.
