EasyJet relaunches holiday arm
A choice of more than 5,000 hotels across 100-plus destinations and more than 330 aircraft flying up to 670 routes a day to beach and city locations are features of easyJet’s holidays programme which the airline has just relaunched.
Also offering a 23kg hold baggage allowance per person, the programme is described by chief executive Garry Wilson as aiming to shake up the sector with flexible, value-for-money holidays to handpicked hotels across Europe.
UK customers can book favourite European hotels, together with any easyJet flight, on one platform, Wilson pointed out, helping to reduce the 7hr people spend on average searching for a holiday.
He added: “The business has been built to overcome things that frustrate travellers most, such as time spent looking for good deals (25%), added expense of travelling at preferred times (21%) and lack of flexibility with flight times and dates (17%).
“EasyJet holidays will offer lots of peak-time holiday availability and more weekend flying than anyone else, while customers can choose how many nights they wish to stay thanks to the strength of the easyJet fleet and its flying schedule.”
