Easyjet package holidays. Any good?

[Batmanisaplaceinturkey]

Usually go with Jet2 but some packages on Easyjet have caught me eye. Any good or should I avoid?

You can cancel and keep the deposit for something else? That sounds amazing!

@Batmanisaplaceinturkey yep.

So £60 per person deposit, then if you decide to cancel any payments you have made over the £60pp get refunded back to your bank account and the deposit stays as easyJet credit.

It says you can only use the credit once but people on the Facebook page say they have cancelled multiple times.
What I do is keep it as credit until 30 days before I fly when the balance is due, at that point you can no longer get a full refund anyway.

For me it is the best thing, it takes away the stress of booking as if the price goes down, or I can't make the dates I just cancel.

We've used them before. Having the baggage and transfers included in the price was useful. Where we went, the same holiday was available on Jet2 at a higher price.

Used them for a holiday in Prague and it was wonderful😊 very easy. Would do it again.

We've used Easy jet to go to same hotel in Croatia last 4 years because they have the best flight times . We get the hotel and minibus transfer through them . All great .

We have just had a week in Fuerteventura with Easyjet, my first, DHs second. No issues whatsoever. Flights left on time, just a short wait at the airport fir the transfer, they used a local company just for their customers. Hotel was good, and the return journey was good. No reps at the hotel, but I don't know if these are still a thing wuth any company. The price was good. I found their app a little cumbersome to use compared to Jet2, but overall would not hesitate to use again. In fact, they are probably my first choice.

Fine booking but absolutely NO support if there is an issue while you are away!!! Just come back from a filthy "4*" hotel and despite providing a DETAILED report with photos and videos they could not have cared less. Just an email with a crappy apology! Personally I will NEVER book an EasyJet holiday again. Beware!

Have you pursued it with ABTA?

We’ve used them for a holiday in Port d’Alcudia in Mallorca. Stayed at same hotel we’d previously used with Jet2.

There was no transfer to resort but we knew the bus from the airport that runs down the Alcudia bay so jumped on that instead.

As pp have commented, we don’t use the resort rep these days so no great shakes that way.

One thing gets my goat though, when looking at their app and clicking through a particular holiday, you get to the ‘Extras’ options , first is seat selection then additional baggage with its multitude of options. It’s not immediately obvious , at least to me, that this is onboard baggage.
If you scroll on there’s a sentence reminding you that you have a 23kg hold bag free with the holiday.

There is no rep, and I’m not sure how easy/hard it would be to actually speak to someone if something was wrong but we’ve had perfectly good hols using them

def cheaper than jet 2

Yes we've done 2. Prague and Crete. Unlike us as usually we DIY but they were good deals for a quick break. No issues and you get full hold luggage allowance included on packages.
