Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks are encouraging agents to act fast to make early bookings for rugby-loving clients looking to visit Rome for next year’s Six Nations fixtures.
After the 2026 fixture schedule was announced this week, the leisure airline and city break specialist put on additional capacity to Italy’s capital from five UK airports: Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London Stansted and Manchester.
Timed for the Italy v Scotland fixture on Saturday February 7 and Italy v England on Saturday March 7, both at the impressive Stadio Olimpico, the additional flights offer agents the opportunity to suggest a long, rugby-themed weekend in Rome.
City highlights include history and ancient monuments, including the Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain and Sistine Chapel, as well as museums and top cuisine.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “The Six Nations is a highlight in the sporting calendar, so our flights to Rome for next year’s fixtures are proving to be incredibly popular.
“We have already seen demand from customers looking to enjoy the sporting action in one of the world’s most unforgettable cities, following the publication of the 2026 fixtures this week. As always, we have responded quickly and put on sale additional capacity to the city, to provide customers and independent travel agents with even more choice.
“Rugby fans will want to experience the Six Nations live, and we are offering them the chance to do just that through either a flight with Jet2.com or a city break with Jet2CityBreaks.”
