Direct flights to Bordeaux launch in summer 2026

Rue Vital Carles in Bordeaux, overlooking the Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Passengers will be able to fly to 'The Sleeping Beauty' of France this summer with new direct flights.

Known for its rich history and wine, Bordeaux offers islanders a chance to explore its laid-back atmosphere and beautiful scenery from June to October 2026.

The city is located at the heart of France's wine region, celebrated for its vineyards, historic architecture and culture.

However, it also opens the doors for French tourists looking to explore new getaways.

Simon Dreschel, CEO of Bordeaux Airport, says the launch of this route to Jersey introduces a destination that is both unique and refreshingly different.

"This route also represents a valuable opportunity for inbound tourism, by attracting British travellers who particularly enjoy the region’s way of life, gastronomy and the wine tourism offering."

Loganair is operating twice weekly flights on Mondays and Fridays from 19 June through to 5 October.

It will cost passengers at least £79.99 from Jersey to Bordeaux and €89.99 from Bordeaux to Jersey (one-way), and there will be a 21kg baggage allowance included.

It adds to the airline's seasonal connection flights to Norwich, East Midlands, and Paris Charles de Gaulle.
