easyJet announces two new routes from Liverpool John Lennon Airport

easyJet has today announced it will launch two new routes from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to the Norwegian capital Oslo and winter hot-spot Sharm-el-Sheikh, in Egypt providing more choice and variety for customers flying with the airline this winter.

Oslo is a brand-new destination on easyJet’s network this year where vibrant nightlife, diverse cuisine and iconic architecture meet scenic natural beauty.

Both services will operate twice a week on Mondays and Fridays throughout the winter with flights to Oslo beginning on 29^th November while flights to Sharm-el-Shiekh start on 14^th February.  Sharm-el Shiekh represents a fantastic destination with guaranteed sunshine through the winter months.
