From London To Europe and Back With easyJet
easyJet was established in Britain in 1995 to provide low-cost airline travel – initially only offering domestic flights from London Luton to Edinburgh and Glasgow. The company’s first international route was inaugurated in the late 1990s, when it began offering flights to Amsterdam. A favourite with business travellers, easyJet air travel is also a great way to get to your choice holiday destinations quickly and cheaply. In a far cry from its modest three-route beginnings, easyJet now offers flights between more than 115 airports across Europe, West Asia and North Africa.
The easyJet website makes it easy to book flights, hotels and transport for your holiday – as well as other essentials such as travel insurance and allocated seating. With set packages available focusing on beach holidays, ski holidays and city breaks, there’ll be something for everyone, whether you’re travelling as a family, as a couple, or with friends; whether you prefer sun, sea and sand or architecture, history and culture.
But where exactly can you go? Some of its key destinations include Paris, Geneva and Lyon in France; Madrid in Spain; Milan in Italy; Dortmund in Germany; and, of course, several large cities across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
For sunny getaways, easyJet serves some of the most popular Canary Islands – Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Las Palmas and Tenerife. Located just off the coast of Africa, these sunny islands are nonetheless part of Spain. Resorts on the Canary Islands are popular with British holidaymakers, with the beautiful beaches of Fuerteventura, the volcanic summits of Tenerife and the peaceful landscapes of Lanzarote being particular highlights.
Ibiza is another popular destination favoured by holidaymakers with a taste for hot weather and entertainment. It is well known as a party destination, with many world-famous nightclubs making their home on the island. However, Ibiza also boasts many benefits for those seeking a slightly quieter holiday – large areas of the island are designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites, so are protected from the reach of the cities and nightlife. If you want to appreciate truly stunning examples of natural beauty, then Ibiza is ideal. You can get there direct with easyJet.
If you prefer culturally-rich city breaks over sand and sun worship, then you’ll be pleased to know that easyJet operates flights to some beautiful and historic cities across Europe and beyond. Paris is famous as the most visited city in the world, with such world-renowned landmarks as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Arc de Triomphe wowing visitors from far and wide. Berlin, the capital city of Germany, boasts an exciting mix of architecture, nightlife, business and contemporary arts. Milan, meanwhile, is a rich cultural hub, with such beautiful sights as the Milan Cathedral, with its gothic facade; the Arch of Peace, erected by Napoleon in 1807; and the architecturally fascinating Velasca Tower (or Torre Velasca in Italian). Each one of these cities can be reached with an easyJet flight.
As mentioned, easyJet began by offering domestic flights only, and it still operates a number of routes within the UK – so if you don’t want to travel to mainland Europe for your holiday, you can still make great savings by staying closer to home.
Since the mid-1990s, easyJet has offered affordable travel to UK customers. This article looks at some of the most popular destinations that are served by flights from the budget operator. Many of these airports will also offer car hire from companies such as Avis and Hertz.
