easyJet overview
easyJet was founded in 1995 by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou and is headquartered at London Luton Airport. It operates through three airlines: easyJet UK, easyJet Europe (Austria) and easyJet Switzerland. In August 2026, easyJet agreed to a takeover by Apollo Global Management, with completion expected in 2027.
The airline flies an all-Airbus A320-family fleet of more than 350 aircraft from bases across the UK and Europe, with London Gatwick its largest. It serves more than 160 airports in around 39 countries and is not part of an alliance. Most flights are sold on a point-to-point basis rather than as connections.

As a low-cost airline, easyJet prices most extras separately: the lowest fares usually include only a small personal item, while cabin bags, checked bags and seat selection are added for a fee. Allowances and prices depend on the fare and route, and adding bags when you book is almost always cheaper than at the airport. See our extra baggage service for help.
easyJet cancellation policy
What happens when you cancel a easyJet ticket depends on the fare rules attached to it, which you see before booking. Tickets bought for travel to or from the US generally allow a free cancellation within 24 hours of booking when the flight is at least seven days away; after that, flexible fares may be refundable and others may convert to credit or be non-refundable. If easyJet cancels your flight, you are entitled to a refund. Our cancellation desk reviews your ticket free of charge.
easyJet date change policy
Whether a easyJet ticket can be changed, and for what fee, depends on its fare rules; you will usually pay any fare difference. We compare the options before you commit. More on our date change service.
easyJet check-in information
Check-in times and methods for easyJet vary by airport and route, including online, app and airport check-in. For international departures from the US, plan to arrive about three hours before departure, and confirm the exact deadlines in your booking confirmation.
