The self-connect service allows Easyjet customers to book connections and forward flights on easyjet.com, with the carrier stressing that the concept “does not impact Easyjet’s punctuality, its asset utilisation or operating model”.
Passengers are subject to a two hours 30 minutes minimum connecting time, and flights are not held for connecting passengers. Should a passenger miss a connecting flight they will be transferred to the next available service.
Easyjet says that the service has been “consistently growing”, with over 4,000 unique Origin and Destination bookings with partner airlines.
