Festive Munich Flights

SOUTHEND Airport has announced extra flights to Munich to coincide with the German city’s famous Christmas markets.
Already proving popular with Oktoberfest travellers this autumn, the Munich route will now continue into the winter period, giving passengers the chance to swap the UK for twinkling lights, mulled wine and Christmas shopping.
Featuring over 20 distinct festive locations, including the Christkindlmarkt in Marienplatz, the city’s largest and most famous market, the 30-foot Christmas pyramid which acts as the centrepiece at the Munich Residenz, and the Pink Christmas, Munich’s inclusive market in Stephanplatz.
Alongside this, Munich offers rich history and architecture, multiple museums, and easy access to some of Europe’s best ski resorts.
The seasonal service will now operate from 23 November 2026 until 1 January 2027, with three weekly easyJet flights every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Munich joins a varied winter line-up from London Southend Airport, alongside easyJet’s Christmas market flights to Berlin and services to Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland, where families can meet Santa in his hometown.
The route also complements recently announced winter services to Belfast, Buapest, Ediburgh, Lyon and Sharm El Sheikh.
Nigel Mayes, Business Development Director at London Southend Airport, said: “We’re thrilled to see this seasonal service to Munich extending into winter.
“Munich is one of Europe’s most popular destinations during the festive period – and we’ve seen growing demand for festive breaks in the run-up to Christmas – so whether you’re planning a city break, a Christmas shopping trip or using Munich as your gateway to the Bavarian or Austrian Alps for a ski holiday, there’s now even more opportunity to get away this winter from your easy, speedy, friendly airport.”
