About easyJet

easyJet is a British low-cost airline carrier based at London Luton Airport. The airline operates scheduled domestic and international flights to over 150 destinations in over 30 countries, and is one of the largest low-cost carriers in the UK and Europe.

easyJet was established in 1995, employing just 70 people and being based at London Luton Airport. Even in the founding business model, the airline focused on the practice of price elasticity, allowing for cheap flight tickets. Over the years, the airline has acquired many additional aircraft and airlines, establishing new bases around Europe such as Geneva, Nice and Porto. Current subsidiaries include easyJet Switzerland. In July 2017, the airline announced that it would open a new Austrian headquarters which would allow them to operate flights after Brexit.

easyJet is featured as one of our cheapest airlines on our blog about the best-value airlines in the world! The airline is also working to be more carbon-efficient, with a carbon offsetting program and research and development into an all-electric aircraft.

FAQ's

How to get cheap flights with easyjet?

Easyjet is known for its low-cost carrier, so you're bound to find cheap flights. There are airlines that offer cheaper deals when you book early in advance, as once destinations become popular airlines tend to increase ticket prices.

A top tip when booking flights is to fly at off-peak seasons. Flying at off-peak seasons means that airlines are more likely to offer cheaper prices due to the lower demand.

When does my gate close?

The gate closes 30 minutes before your departure. At the gate easyjet uses a queuing system to board customers onto the flight. Customers who need Special Assistance will be boarded first, then the customers that have requested Speedy boarding and families with children under 5.

Have your boarding pass and travel documents ready as this will be reviewed whilst boarding onto the plane.

Please allow enough time to arrive at the gate in order to avoid missing your flight.

Can you cancel an easyjet flight?
