'Overwhelmed' woman handed free easyJet holiday at Liverpool Airport

A woman was "overwhelmed" after being handed a free easyJet holiday at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

Philippa was among the passengers to be surprised with a free holiday from easyJet this week after returning home from visiting her dad in intensive care. The free holidays and return flights were handed out by the airline to celebrate World Kindness Day.

EasyJet set up a hidden camera at Liverpool Airport as they filmed an actor pretending to drop her passport on the floor. Passengers who picked up the actor's passport and gave it back to her were surprised with free flights and holiday vouchers from easyJet crew.

The lucky holidaymakers will be able to choose from 104 different destinations from the UK across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Philippa said: “It was a wonderful surprise to receive an unexpected gift from easyJet for an act of kindness that comes naturally to me.

"It gave me even more pleasure because I was on way home from visiting my father who was in ICU, so this was a real lift and I am so grateful, being kind should never be difficult, it should be within us all.”

Robert Birge, Chief Customer Officer for easyJet said: "A warm welcome and great service are what our brilliant easyJet crew are famous for, so we loved taking the opportunity this World Kindness Day to surprise our fantastic customers as they headed off on their travels with a particularly special welcome from our crew, to celebrate their everyday acts of kindness.”

Euan Hendry, Senior First Officer at easyJet said: “We were delighted to be able to spread some kindness to our fantastic customers in Liverpool for this year’s World Kindness Day and are proud to be part of our easyJet celebration to recognise and celebrate acts of kindness, no matter how small.”
