EasyJet launches ‘inclusive’ fare to attract business travellers
EasyJet has launched an ‘inclusive fare’ option to attract more business passengers.
Corporate passengers and travel bookers can book in a one-step transaction which combines the services important to them such as bag and seat selection.
The new Inclusive Fare is only available through the GDS and other booking systems connected to the easyJet API and easyJet hopes it will help it gain a larger slice of the corporate travel market.
Ruth Spratt, head of UK sales for easyJet, said: "In the past 12 months easyJet has made great strides into the corporate travel arena by signing a large number of corporate contracts and, based on customer feedback, we are confident the launch of the Inclusive Fare will further strengthen our appeal to large corporates."
Passengers can choose from:
- Standard Fares – online or through a GDS where they pay for the services they want
- Inclusive Fares – only via GDS and which include a 20kg hold bag and seat selection in the lowest priced band and credit card payment
- Flexi Fares – include a 20kg hold bag, seat selection, credit card payment and unlimited free changes. Fast track security is also available in some airports with the fare. This is available online and via GDS
