EasyJet launches winter sale
EasyJet has launched its winter sale early to help customers who have had to postpone their trips due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It said with the change fee waiver included on thousands of new flights, the move would help customers affected by recent travel disruption
Many customers had worried that if they postponed their travel, they would have to pay inflated prices for when flights resumed.
EasyJet said more than 5 million seats are now on sale for flights between 25 October 2020 and 28 February 2021 at £29.99 one way, including taxes and charges.
To benefit customers need to book before midnight on March 24 .
The announcement comes after yesterday’s FCO announcement that Brits should avoid all but essential travel for the next 30 days.
Robert Carey, easyJet chief commercial officer, said: "We’ve taken the decision to put our flights for the winter season on sale today in order to support customers as much as possible during this time.
"For the first time flights will also go on sale with a flat fee of £29.99 including taxes and charges. Customers are also able to change their existing plans should they need to, or book a new break, with the reassurance that a change fee will not be applied."
All easyJet customers are now able to change the dates of their upcoming flights to any time before February 2021.
The change fee waiver applies to both existing and new bookings until further notice.
