easyJet is preparing for its busiest ever Easter getaway, with customers set to travel on almost 30,000 flights, with 5.2 million seats on offer across Europe during the two‑week school break.

Across this first Easter travel weekend alone customers will take to the skies on over 5,000 easyJet flights, as families make the most of the spring break to enjoy warmer weather and much‑needed time away.

From the UK, the airline is set to operate up to 16,000 flights during the Easter period, flying customers to destinations offering spring sunshine as well as classic European city breaks.

While Easter traditionally marks the end of the ski season, some higher‑altitude resorts remain open into April, meaning customers looking for late‑season snow still have plenty of options to hit the slopes.

For sun‑seekers, the Canary Islands, including Tenerife and Lanzarote, remain among the most popular choices, while Spanish mainland favourites Alicante and Malaga also continue to be in high demand.

easyJet holidays is also set for its biggest Easter on record, welcoming over a quarter more customers than last year’s Easter weekend. Hundreds of thousands of holidaymakers are expected to jet off over the two-week break, with the most popular package holiday destinations including Spain, Portugal, the Canary Islands, and city breaks to Paris.

Kevin Doyle, easyJet's UK Country Manager, said: “Every Easter we see more customers choosing easyJet for our unrivalled network, choice, brilliant package holidays and great value – and this year we’re set to fly more than 30,000 flights across Europe to over 140 destinations. Easter marks a welcome chance for families, couples and friends to enjoy a break together, whether that’s a dose of early‑spring sunshine or exploring one of Europe’s great cities. We’re continuing to offer even more flying to the destinations that matter most to our customers, always focused on making travel easy.”
