Can someone explain how easyJet free child places work

[Mama09876]

Hi,

Can someone explain how easyJet get away with saying ‘free child place’ included then on the total it adds in the child place?! Im so confused as on Tui & Jet2 its doesn’t charge or include in the total price yet on easyJet it says free child place then says £500pp and for 2 adults and a child it’s £1500 total? So child isn’t free?

the free child place is accommodation I think, you still have to pay for the plane for the child, if I recall from last time we went when DSS still qualified for the free place. But that was a while ago!!

They give you the free child place and then split the total between how many passengers.
Say 2 x adults and 1 x child and easyjet is saying £500 pp - total £1500 with free child place.
If you searched for the exact same holiday without the child it would say £750 pp - total £1500

They just word it badly so it doesn't look like you're getting a free child place when you actually are. God knows why

Why the hell do they do that 😂 I’m going to have a look now and see if the price changes.
that feels like such a long winded way of doing it & confusing!

Right I’ve just done the comparison and it’s the same price for 2 adults and 2 adults plus one child.
thank you for explaining!
still don’t understand why they do it that way! 😂

No idea- it must put so many people off booking with them as they don't think they're getting the free child place when they actually are.

Can someone tell me up to what age is considered a child with EJ holidays please?
