easyJet and easyJet holidays launch new Greece routes from Bristol for Summer 2021

• Protection Promise means customers can book with confidence and if their plans have to change, so can their booking
• Flights are set to jet off at the end of May 2021 with seats available to book now at easyJet.com
• In a recent survey of 5000 Europeans 65% said they wanted to travel this year. 

easyJet and easyJet holidays have today launched brand new flights and holidays from Bristol Airport to the Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini for this summer.

All flights and holidays are subject to market-leading flexible policies under its ‘Protection Promise’ which means that customers can book now for later this year with the confidence that if their plans change, so can their booking.

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK Country Manager said:

“We know that people want to travel as soon as they can and as soon as it is safe to do so and so we want to ensure they have even more destinations to choose from when making a booking for this summer.

“And while we remain optimistic for summer travel, given the successful roll out of the vaccination programme which will be an important trigger for the Government to begin to unwind some restrictions, our Protection Promise means that customers can book with confidence knowing that if they are unable to travel or their plans change so can their flights or holiday. And unlike other airlines we will offer customers refunds if they are impacted by a travel ban, even if their flight is not cancelled, which is industry leading.

“And in the meantime we continue to focus on offering a network of the most attractive destinations and ensuring we will be ready to ramp up our flights so we can take our customers away to see friends and family or on long-awaited holiday breaks when they can safely take to the skies again.”

The new route from Bristol to Santorini, an island paradise perfect for couples and families, takes off from 31 May 2021. Flights are available from £30.99, or a seven-night package holiday including flights, hotel, bags and transfers can be booked for just £373 per person. Those looking for an escape to relaxation need look no further than the 5* Splendour Resort, with its luxury facilities and breath-taking views.

Those who want to experience the action and glamour of Mykonos can jet off directly from Bristol from 28 May 2021, with fares available from £30.99* and holidays available from £373 per person, with a range of hotels including the adults only 4* Andronikos hotel, famed for its classic Cycladic design and rooftop bar. All easyJet holidays can be booked with a deposit of just £60 per person.

Paul Bixby, easyJet holidays Commercial Director, said:

“We’re really excited to introduce holidays to Santorini and Mykonos for summer 2021 from Bristol airport. It means more choice for our customers in the South West wanting to book a special holiday to look forward to, after what’s been a challenging year. And all our holidays are covered by our industry leading Protection Promise, so customers can have the peace of mind that they can make changes to their booking if things change.”

Flights to both new destinations will operate once a week throughout the summer, providing anyone travelling from the South West with a direct connection to the popular Greek resorts. The new route joins the existing easyJet routes from Bristol to Athens, Corfu, Crete, Kefalonia, Kos, Preveza, Rhodes and Zakynthos.

The airline has also added more seats on summer routes from Bristol to Turkey, with additional departures on Mondays to Antalya and on Tuesdays and Fridays to Dalaman as well as on Sundays to the Greek Island of Corfu.

Dave Lees, CEO, Bristol Airport said: 

 

“We are delighted with easyJet’s announcement adding two new destinations from Bristol Airport to the Greek islands of Mykonos and Santorini and increasing capacity to Antalya and Dalaman in Turkey and the Greek island of Corfu for summer 2021. This further increases the choice of destinations and flight options available to passengers in the region choosing to fly from their local airport.  This shows the confidence in the region and when the time is right and travel restrictions ease, Bristol Airport will be ready to provide the essential air connectivity, which is what our customers are telling us they want. We will continue to work with easyJet, enhancing and developing the route network for the future.”

easyJet and easyJet holidays have introduced market-leading flexible customer policies under its ‘Protection Promise’, meaning that customers can book now with the confidence that if their plans change, so can their booking. This includes a Refund Guarantee for flights or holidays if they are cancelled plus a full refund for holidays if a customer changes their mind up to 28 days before and – unlike other airlines – with our Travel Ban Protection customers can also receive a refund for non-cancelled flights if plans are impacted by travel bans in a regional or national lockdown; the Freedom To Change flights without a fee up to 14 days before departure, and change a holiday up to 28 days before departure; and if quarantine measures come in to place last minute, our Quarantine Assurance also means impacted flights can be changed without a change fee. All holidays are covered under easyJet holidays’ Covid commitments if holidays cannot go ahead or are impacted by restrictions.

Safety and wellbeing of all customers and crew remains easyJet’s highest priority and the airline continues to have a number of biological safety measures in place onboard in line with guidance from the relevant authorities. This includes daily enhanced cabin disinfection effective in protecting against coronavirus for at least 24 hours and mandatory mask wearing for customers and crew. All easyJet aircraft are already fitted with HEPA filters, similar to those used in hospitals, which filter 99.97% of airborne contaminants in the cabin, including viruses and bacteria.
