easyJet holidays has today announced the launch of its brand new trade portal, creating a more intuitive, user friendly experience for travel agents selling brilliant holidays at unbeatable prices.

Europe’s fastest growing tour operator has worked closely with the trade, listening to feedback from partners to create a portal they love using, enabling them to engage with partners in a more effective way.

The portal is rich in content, with more high-quality images, added visual tools and easy to use systems, resulting in a much smoother journey for agents to help their customers choose the perfect holiday. Over the past few weeks, easyJet holidays has collected positive feedback from a number of partners, particularly on features such as the new calendar functionality to search for the cheapest stay at certain hotels. 

To celebrate the launch, easyJet holidays is offering travel agents an extra incentive, with all bookings made on the new portal from 13^th – 15^th December earning £10 per booking.  In addition, the tour operator is running a series of competitions over the coming weeks, with the chance for agents to win some top travel prizes. Kicking off today is a competition on the tour operator’s travel agent Facebook page, with the chance for four agents to win £250 in vouchers.

easyJet holidays offers packages, including flights, 23kg of luggage per person and transfers on beach holidays, to over 5000 hotels across more than 500 destinations, available right up until the end of summer 2024. And, with the recent launch of flights from its partner airline, easyJet, for autumn 2024, there are brand new additional packages available through the portal today. What’s more, easyJet holidays’ flexible booking policy includes a refund guarantee, more time to decide, the freedom to change, low deposits and a best price guarantee.

Kelly Walker, Head of Distribution at easyJet holidays, said:

“We launched our partnership with the trade over two years ago, and it’s been an important contributor to our growth, with hundreds of thousands of holidays sold during that time.

“We’re committed to providing a seamless and unforgettable experience for travel agents helping their customers find the perfect easyJet holidays package. That’s why we’ve listened intently to feedback from our partners, to help us build this brand new portal that we’re confident travel agents will love.

“I’m really excited to continue building our shared success with the trade.”
