CHILDREN flying from Bournemouth Airport with Jet2 next summer are being offered a free seat onboard the planes. 

The package holiday firm, which will start flying from Hurn next February, is giving away millions of free child place holidays. 

Families can fly from Bournemouth Airport to the Canaries, Balearics, mainland Spain, Turkey, Greece and Portugal. 

Steve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2, said: “Families are flocking to book their place in the sunshine, so we are making it even easier for them by adding even more free child place holidays in summer ‘25, meaning we have millions available across summer ‘24 and summer ‘25.

“As an award-winning tour operator and a Which? Recommended Provider for family holidays, we are always doing what we can to make it an even better family holiday experience and we know today’s announcement will be a huge boost.  

“Contrary to popular belief, there is not an endless amount of capacity on sale and with so many people flocking to book their well-deserved holidays, our advice is to act now before they are gone.”
