Is this Easyjet service seasonal (MAN-SPU)?
I'm looking to fly to Split for the inaugural Split Marathon in February.
I have found an acceptable combination of times and costs with Lufthansa, transferring at FRA, flying out of LHR. However, this is £250, so will eat into my spending budget, and requires a hotel the night before in London. I live in northern England.
I've looked for flights from my local airport, HUY, connecting via AMS, but those stop twice and I'll spend longer in airports than I will in the air, and it will also cost me more than a single night at a decent hotel at LHR, so the cost-benefit isn't there.
While wandering around the internet, I've found that EasyJet do direct flights to SPU from MAN and NCL, as well as STN (which, if I'm going to have to go from London is the best located airport for me). However, I can't find dates for these flights beyond October.
Does this mean that there are no flights to Split from the UK with EZY in the winter? Are there any with anyone?

pretty much all routes to/from Split are seasonal.
Split airport recorded only 35,000 passengers in Feb 2019 (up 13% on Feb 2018), but that figure pales in comparison with the summer peak - the Feb total represents only 6% of the passenger numbers recorded in June 2019 (over half a million).
The only airlines operating year-round service are Croatia Airlines (to the capital, and to Germany & Italy), Trade Air (to a number of domestic locations), and Eurowings & Lauda (both to Germany)

Personally if you can find connection that works, I would much rather connect in ZAG than FRA. Much more pleasant airport to connect at. Also in case of IRROP there are more options from ZAG (up to 3 flights a day to SPU with OU). As a worst case scenario there are numerous coach/train services from ZAG to SPU.
