UPDATE: Wizz Air has just announced direct flights from London Luton Airport to the stunning island of Chania, Crete, with one-way fares starting at an incredible £44.99. This exciting route will officially launch on May 13, 2026, offering travelers an affordable escape to a European paradise renowned for its charming old town and balmy winter weather.

Chania, located on the northwest coast of Crete, boasts a picturesque 14th-century Venetian harbor, vibrant narrow streets, and delightful seafront dining options.

He noted, “The holiday destination boasts fantastic weather throughout August, September, and October.” Dillon highlighted the incredible culinary experiences available, emphasizing that the local food scene exceeded his expectations.

Starting next spring, Wizz Air will also introduce flights to four additional Greek destinations: Mykonos, Rhodes, and Zakynthos, alongside routes to Bordeaux and Dortmund. Flights will operate three times a week to Mykonos and twice a week to the other three Greek locations. The airline is expanding its fleet with a 14th aircraft at London Luton, enhancing travel options for customers.

Yvonne Moynihan, managing director at Wizz Air UK, expressed her excitement about the new routes, stating, “With holidaymakers already dreaming of their 2026 getaways, we’ve got an early Christmas gift for our customers: six brand-new routes from our London Luton base!” She emphasized the airline’s commitment to making European travel affordable and accessible for all.

Travelers can now purchase tickets on Wizz Air’s website and official mobile app, ensuring that they secure their spot for an unforgettable summer vacation. With 60 destinations now served from London Luton, Wizz Air is dedicated to providing even more flexibility and choice for UK holidaymakers.

As anticipation builds for these new routes, travelers are encouraged to act quickly and book their flights to enjoy Greece’s breathtaking beaches and vibrant culture. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to escape to a sun-soaked destination that promises both charm and adventure!
