Jet2 has revealed new winter routes for 2026 - with tickets already on sale.
One of the exclusive routes goes from Bournemouth to Malaga.
This route will begin in July 2026 and continue until November of that year.
The Spanish city is a great place for winter sun as it has highs of 24C in October, and it's only two hours away from the UK.
Malaga has more than 105 miles of sandy beaches making it the perfect spot for sunbathing.
The beaches are usually bordered by palm trees and adorned with colourful parasols.
It's also popular for watersports enthusiasts, and there's hundreds of restaurants too.
The other exclusive route from Jet2 is from London Luton to Palma Majorca.
The route is already in action for summer 2025, and will continue until November.
It will then pause before beginning again in March 2026 and continuing through to November.

Flights will begin again in February and March 2027.
The capital of Majorca, Palma, is a popular winter holiday destination because daytime averages in winter are usually around 17C.
Although temperatures during December have highs of 26C in recent years.
Playa de Palma and Cala Major are two of Palma's best beaches, with golden sands and crystal-clear seas.
There's the option to sunbathe, but the city centre has lots of culture to see and explore.
The winter time will inevitably offer a more relaxed time away as it's out of peak season.
Jet2 has converted a number of summer seasonal routes into year-round flights too.
The extended routes are from Bristol to Athens in Greece and Almeria, Bilbao and Murcia in Spain.
Also continuing through winter will be flights from Edinburgh to Athens, and from London Luton to Bordeaux in France and Murcia.
The flights are already on sale.
Jet2 launched new flights from UK airport for first time ever earlier this year.
The airline also revealed plans for a new winter sun destination where it's 24C in December.

Little-known rule in holiday hotspot could see Brits get slapped with £421 fines
Brits heading on summer holidays to the likes of Spain and Italy are being warned of a little-known rule that could actually see them face hefty fines in popular holiday hotspots If you're planning a summer holiday abroad, then you may want to consider packing an extra beach or poolside cover-up in your suitcase - or you could face a hefty fine. That's because over in Italy, tourists and locals are banned from wearing swimwear outside of beaches and pools. In holiday hotspots such as the Amalfi Coast and specifically Sorrento, anyone caught breaking this rule could end up having to pay a charge. Travel experts at have warned: "Despite the sunny weather, Italy has banned the wearing of swimwear outside of beaches and pools in a bid to uphold public decency and respect for locals. In the popular destinations of the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento, tourists caught breaking this rule can face fines of up to €500." It's worth noting that the rules also apply to anyone walking around the town topless. Of course, there are exceptions; for example, if you're at a beachclub or staying in a hotel with direct beach access, you're not going to be fined as you make your way back to your cabana or your room. The measures are in place for public spaces, and predominantly aimed at tourists who are wandering into the town and going to shops and restaurants without changing out of their swimwear. The rules aren't particularly new; in Sorrento, the swimwear ban has been in place since 2022. At the time, the town's then Mayor Coppola said the crackdown came because people walking around in bikinis or topless were "seen by the majority of people as contrary to decorum and to the decency that characterises civilised cohabitation". He added: "The continuation of this situation, as well as causing discomfort and unease in the resident population and among visitors, could lead to a negative judgment on the quality of life in our town, with consequences for its image and for tourism." It's not just in Italy where these types of regulations are in force. In the likes of Barcelona, people are also asked to stick to the beach if they want to wander around in swimwear, with fines of approximately £260 for rule-breakers. Meanwhile the island of Majorca also requests that people stick to beaches and pools, with fines of up to £500 for those who flout the regulations. Those aren't the only beach rules that Brits heading on Spain holidays should take note of. The Tiger team added: "In popular areas of Spain like Barcelona and Costa Blanca, tourists can now be fined €250 for reserving sunbeds, meaning waking up early to bag a spot for you and the family is no longer allowed. This rule was introduced following numerous complaints about sunbeds being reserved for hours with no one in sight." The rules came into force last year in a move to stop beachgoers from reserving spots with towels and sunbeds, only to leave them unoccupied for hours at a time. On already-crowded beaches, this only leaves others having to fight for space or giving up.

Issued by the General Directorate of Emergencies, the warning extends to Tenerife, Grand Canaria, La Palma, La Gomera and EI Heirro.

Authorities have urged residents and tourists to heighten their vigilance, with the alert in place until further notice. It is not uncommon for wildfires to happen during the summer months in both Spain and Portugal. Eight years ago, there were hundreds of large fires in the two countries. It saw 45 people killed in Portugal and four in Spain. And two years ago, there was an evacuation of 12,000 people from Tenerife as a wildfire became 'out of control'. The UK Government has offered the advice to travellers. Article continues below Its website reads: "Wildfires happen often in Spain, including on the islands, during the summer months. "Be aware of your environment when visiting or driving through woodland areas. "For information on wildfire risk visit the Spanish Meteorological Office (AEMET). "Causing a wildfire is a criminal offence in Spain, even if unintentional. "Make sure cigarette ends are properly extinguished, do not light barbecues and do not leave empty bottles behind. "You can be heavily fined for not following the rules against lighting outdoor barbecues in forest areas. "Make sure you know the rules if considering a barbeque. For information on what to do in the event of a wildfire, visit Civil Protection (website in Spanish). It adds: "Immediately report any fire you see to the emergency services on 112. In the case of wildfires, the situation can change quickly, so you should stay up to date with official advice." Article continues below
