easyJet with Flexi Fare and Manchester expansion

Budget airline easyJet, now aiming towards the business travel market, has confirmed that its new Flexi fare is available on the airline's website.  This gives passengers unlimited flexibility to change the date of their flights up to two hours before the scheduled departure time.  Passengers booking an easyJet Flexi fare will also benefit from automatic speedy boarding, no booking fees and a checked in hold bag included at no extra cost.  They can make unlimited date changes within a four-week time window – one week before and up to three weeks after the original booked travel date.

In another move, and following agreement with Manchester Airport Group, the airline has committed a sixth Airbus for this year with a seventh due to arrive in time for the 2012 summer season.

easyJet launched at Manchester Airport in March 2008 following the acquisition of GB Airways, and with it five routes.  Currently the airline moves approximately one million passengers through the base each year and has 26 destinations.  It says the success of the operation is put down to the airport’s central location, strong business links and wide catchment area. www.easyjet.com
