Jet2 has a fresh batch of May flight deals, with some one-way fares showing from £28 after its current discount. The best examples we found were from Manchester, including Faro and Majorca from £28 one way.
That doesn’t mean you’re going on holiday for £28. Unless you’re planning to move to Faro permanently, the return flight matters just as much. A good booking here is a cheap outbound paired with a sensible return.
What’s in the Jet2 May sale
- Manchester to Faro: from £28 one way, 10 May 2026
- Manchester to Majorca: from £28 one way, 10 May 2026
- Manchester to Ibiza: from £28 one way, 28 May 2026
- Other routes we saw: Dubrovnik, Girona, Pula, and Vienna from £32 one way
Jet2 says more than 75,000 one-way seats at £49 or less were released on 28 April 2026, for travel in May and June.
What you’ll actually pay
Use the £28 fare as half the story. Find a return for £39 and you’re looking at £67 return before extras. If the return is £75, it’s £103 return. If it’s £120, the trip becomes £148 return, and that’s the point where you’ll want to compare before booking.
For this sale to feel really useful, aim for a return trip around £70-£110 before bags. Above that, it might still be fine, but don’t book it without a quick comparison.
Is it actually a good deal?
Yes, if you’re flexible. £28 one way to Portugal or Spain in May is a strong starting point, especially from a regional airport. The catch is that flight-only fares don’t usually include checked luggage, and the cheapest outbound date won’t always line up with the cheapest return.
This is best for short breaks, light packers, and people who can move dates around. If you need luggage, transfers, and fixed dates, check Jet2holidays as well. Sometimes the package price works out better.
Tips for booking
- Search the outbound and return together before getting excited about the £28 fare.
- Keep bags and seat choices out until you’ve seen the base price.
- Check nearby dates, as the best fares can move quickly.
- Prices were checked on 1 May 2026 and can change as seats sell.
