The low cost airline EasyJet is based at Luton Airport in Bedfordshire. They have grown from their humble beginnings of just two routes, London to Glasgow and London the Edinburgh and now run cheap flights on close to three hundred routes. They operate internal flights from most airports in the UK and serve airports across Europe including Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Portugal just to name just a few.

Almost ninety five percent of EasyJet ticket sales are made online at their website easyjet.com, and their business model is akin to most other low cost airlines in that they have a no frills approach. They also provide what the customer wants, such as ticketless electronic documentation, flight flexibility and no-penalty one-way fares.

The EasyJet fleet mainly consists of Airbus A319 jets and Boeing 737-700. They are able to offer the cheapest flights because they negotiate take off and landing slots at airports serving capital cities across Europe, and keep their overheads down in both management and flight operations.

One way this has been achieved was teaming up with Microsoft to initiate the new EasyJet desktop device for Vista and Office 2007, which allows you to personalize flight information when using the online booking service.

However when booking a cheap flight with a low cost airline like EasyJet it is good to remember that once a flight has departed, you will not be entitled to a refund or to change your seats if you are late for your flight, as this is another way to keep costs low. Always look around to see what is available online, as sometimes it possible to book EasyJet flights cheaper through a third party website.

The EasyJet website provides links to easyValue.com, easyCar.com and easyMoney.com. You can also buy a hotel and flight package, car rental, travel insurance or book a hotel or apartment directly from the website.

If you dislike queuing when checking in for your flight, then for a small fee you can choose Speedy Boarding, which guarantees you will be one of the first to go through the gate and onto the plane.

Special arrangements need to be made if you are planning to take a bicycle with you. You will have to pack it in a box on its own with the handlebars and pedals flush to the frame, and check in two hours before departure to guarantee carriage.

EasyJet are planning three more budget flights for the beginning of 2009. They are London Gatwick to Copenhagen, Paris Charles de Gaulle to Bastia (Corsica) and Paris Charles de Gaulle to Barcelona.

directline-flights.co.uk provides you with the latest offers on easyjet flights, essential information & reviews on destinations worldwide.
