As the summer approaches, Jersey is getting closer to the Southwest. A new direct line from Bordeaux will allow travelers to reach the Anglo-Norman island, a discreet alternative to the classic beach getaways.
Jersey, accessible by plane from Paris Charles-de-Gaulle and more than 20 British airports, expands its network this summer with a unique direct connection from Bordeaux. The regional British airline Loganair will open a direct route between the Bordeaux city and the Anglo-Norman island, a destination known for its rugged coastlines, beaches, cliffs, and its curious blend of British and Norman influences. The route will operate from June 19 to October 5, 2026, with two flights per week on Mondays and Fridays.
For Bordeaux Airport, this marks both a new destination and the arrival of a new airline service. For Jersey, this opening is part of a strategy to enhance its European connectivity, aiming to attract short-stay enthusiasts and travelers seeking a nearby escape without layovers or long journeys.
A short flight for a true change of scenery Operated twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays, from June 19 to October 5, 2026, this connection allows travelers to reach Jersey in just 1.5 hours.
This route may find its audience among travelers from the Southwest who can go from the vineyards of Bordeaux to an island washed by the tides, known for its coastal paths, defensive heritage, and a slower pace compared to major summer destinations. Tickets start from €89.99 for a one-way flight from Bordeaux, including a maximum of 21 kg of baggage.
In an aviation landscape where new developments often focus on major capitals or overcrowded sunny destinations, Jersey offers a different appeal: an accessible and refreshing break that is both relaxing and nearby. A distinctly British island to change the atmosphere, yet close enough to almost take off on a whim.
