Peter Duffy, easyJet’s commercial director said: ‘We’re delighted to be celebrating easyJet’s operation over the past two decades by launching our twentieth birthday sale.
’20 years ago easyJet changed the way Europe travelled. We challenged the high price monopolies of the legacy airlines and enabled a new generation of people of all ages, incomes and interests to enjoy Europe.
‘We started with fares to Scotland from £29 – or as we advertised at the time, the same price as a pair of jeans. A pair of Levis 501s will now set your back £75 while our fares to Scotland start from £27.49 and some of the fares that we have on sale today are even lower than that!’
easyJet holidays is also offering up to 15 per cent off on over 50,000 seven night holidays for bookings made on the easyJet holidays website before midnight on January 13, 2016 for travel up to the July 6, 2016. Full details are available at: http://www.easyjet.com/en/holidays/.
