Europe’s Low Cost Airlines Duke It Out

May 25th, 2007 by The Backpackers Team

Easy Jet Extends Its Summer Sale

European budget airline, EasyJet, has just announced an extension of its 2007 summer sale:

Sale extended – don’t miss our hot fares!

Summer’s just around the corner, so we’re offering up to 30% off on a massive selection of our most popular flights!

Take advantage of our incredibly low prices by replacing your day to day world with a sun soaked beach or exciting outdoor pursuit in a picturesque city such as Alicante, Palma or Malaga.

To catch our hottest ever summer fares you must book before midnight Tuesday 29 May for flights departing June or July 2007.

It’s a good time for backpackers to be looking for flights around Europe. Several other airlines have joined the low-cost fare price war –

  • Eastern European airline, WizzAir, is now offering up to 30% off selected European routes (offer ends 3 June).
  • RyanAir is still selling 10 million seats for £10 (taxes and fees included, one way flight), though it’s likely many of those have already been snapped up by now!
  • BritishJet.com is currently offering special flight deals to Malta (£19 one way).
