Holidaymakers in Somerset will have two more destinations to choose from next summer, after easyJet announced two new routes from Bristol Airport.

easyJet said it will be the only airline offering direct flights between Bristol and Montpellier, giving South West travellers a new link to southern France.

Burgas sits on Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast, with beaches and access to popular resorts, while Montpellier offers historic streets, Mediterranean food and nearby coastline.

Kevin Doyle, easyJet's UK country manager, said: "18 new routes for summer 2027 is fantastic news with two more from Bristol Airport showing our commitment to providing customers in the South West with more choice from their local airport.

"We're pleased to offer the only direct connection between Bristol and Montpellier providing more connections to southern France for next summer as well as a new route and packages to Burgas in Bulgaria which is a popular and affordable summer hot spot.

"Whether customers are planning a summer beach holiday, a city break or a chance to explore somewhere new, there's never been a better time to book a flight or package holiday with easyJet."

Rupert Lawrie, commercial director at Bristol Airport, said: "easyJet's announcement of its new routes to Montpellier in France, and Burgas in Bulgaria, for summer 2027 is great news for customers across the South West and Wales, further strengthening Bristol Airport's international network.

"The twice-weekly service to Montpellier provides even greater choice for those travelling to France, while also creating more opportunities for business and tourism links between our regions.

"And Burgas offers customers a direct route to explore the pretty coastal area, further highlighting the role our Airport plays in connecting the region with European destinations."

Seats on both routes are now available through easyJet’s website and mobile app.

easyJet also offers package holidays to both destinations.

One-way flights start at £53.48 to Burgas and £51.48 to Montpellier.

easyJet said the additions will take its Bristol Airport network to 93 routes, including new winter services to Budapest and Strasbourg.

The announcement follows summer 2026 services to Reus in Spain and Thessaloniki in Greece added to easyJet's Bristol schedule.
