Airline to launch direct flights to Luxembourg

AIRLINE Flybe is to launch a new service between Manchester and Luxembourg from September 1.

The new service opens up a destination which until this announcement was accessible from the UK only via London.

It will operate twice daily from Monday to Friday and once a day at weekends.

Flights from have been timed to make day returns to this often overlooked destination a real possibility, leaving Manchester at 7.30am allowing a full 10 hours in Luxembourg before touching down back in the North of England at 8.35pm.

Luxembourg Airport is five miles from the centre of Luxembourg City, allowing plenty of time to explore the capital city and its picturesque medieval buildings and enough time to try one of its many four Michelin-starred restaurants.

Vincent Hodder, Flybe chief revenue officer said: “We are opening up yet another key business and tourist destination to travellers outside of the M25 corridor and look forward to welcoming all our new customers on board in September.”
