easyJet makes flights to all destinations just £29.99 but you have to be quick

easyJet has announced flights to all destinations in its winter sale will cost just £29.99 if you book by the end of March.

The airline has temporarily grounded its entire fleet of 344 planes because of the coronavirus pandemic, but it has also launched a special deal ending midnight tonight (March 31).

The "millions of seats" are available for travel at just £29.99 a ticket between October 25 this year and February 28 next year.

easyJet has written to customers: "Get flights, a 23kg bag, return transfers and accommodation with only a £60pp deposit – allowing you to pay the remaining balance later.

"What’s more, all our holidays are ATOL protected, and we're a member of ABTA. So wherever you go, you'll have peace of mind.

"If you have a booking already but would prefer to change to a flight later in the year, you can currently switch without paying a change fee."

The airline, which has an office in Bristol, said parking its fleet “removes significant cost” as the aviation industry continues to struggle amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

It comes a month after the airline cancelled 234 flights, leaving many people in Bristol disappointed.

easyJet has insisted it “maintains a strong balance sheet” and revealed it is in “ongoing discussions with liquidity providers”.

It has also announced it has reached an agreement with the Unite union on furlough arrangements for its cabin crew.

The deal will be in place from Wednesday (April 1) for a two-month period and means cabin crew will be paid 80 per cent of their average pay through the government job retention scheme.

The airline has faced accusations of making it difficult for customers to claim refunds on cancelled flights, but insists it is making refunds available.
