easyJet holidays has today announced plans to start operating its first holidays this summer season from 1 August 2020. The move comes following the news from the UK government on its latest travel and quarantine advice. The holiday company is now readying itself to start taking customers on holiday once more from the beginning of next month.

From the likes of Spain, Greece and Turkey, customers can enjoy holidays with the company this summer. The restarted programme will mean customers looking to get away this summer can now book with confidence and start to get excited about travelling again.

To help support and prepare customers for what to expect on holiday in these times, easyJet holidays has created a customer video and provided detailed information pages on its website – a Covid-19 response and a safety and wellbeing centre. The decision to start at the beginning of August allows the company to finalise plans to ensure customers can have a safe and enjoyable holiday.

Matt Callaghan, Customer Director at easyJet holidays said: “Like many people we’ve been waiting for this moment. It’s really exciting to be able to bring the magic of holidays to life for our customers. We only launched our business in November 2019 so as our first summer season it was always going to be a milestone moment, but even more so now. We’ve put a lot of work in behind the scenes to ensure our customers can travel with confidence and have launched our three key commitments so customers know what to expect when booking and travelling with us.”

For anyone looking to get away this summer now that travel restrictions are lifted, easyJet holidays has some great value deals and all holidays include 23kg of luggage per person, with transfers included on beach holidays.

A new range of additional measures will be in place on flights to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of all customers and crew onboard. With so many families travelling over the peak summer easyJet has also teamed up with a superhero illustrator to create comic book inspired face mask covers for children flying this summer to help ease the experience for both kids and parents. Irish artist Will Sliney, best known for his work on Marvel comics Spider-Man and Star Wars, has created a range of new comic book inspired face mask covers for young easyJet flyers.
