Easyjet Cheap Flights

Easyjet cheap flights are words that naturally put together they seem to just roll off the tongue, the company is well known in the UK for its budget flights.

Founded by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou in 1995 as a low cost alternative for flights it has grown and grown and is used by many people who want budget air travel.

The company manages this by the use of the Internet to reduce distribution costs of bookings and tickets and approximately 95 % of all seats that are sold are over the Internet, not only is this a first for an airline but it makes EasyJet one of Europe's biggest Internet retailers. It uses a ticket less travel system where passengers instead of receiving a standard ticket and travel details from the airline or holiday company they receive an email containing all their travel details and booking reference when they book online.

This helps to reduce significantly the cost of issuing, distributing, processing and the reconciliation of millions of tickets each year.

The next cost saving is the in flight meal, not everyone wants it so it is not provided unless specifically asked for and paid for as an extra. By eliminating free catering on-board it not only reduces the cost of the meal but also unnecessary bureaucracy and management. The elimination of the unnecessary and complex to manage costly services such as meals and pre-assigned seats etc give Easyjet a simple service model the reduced costs can then be passed on to the passenger. Easyjet flies to the main destination airports throughout Europe but gains efficiencies through rapid turnaround times by reducing turnarounds to 30 minutes and below, EasyJet can achieve extra rotations on the high-frequency routes thereby maximising utilisation rates of its aircraft.

By embracing modern technology Easyjet uses a paperless system and the management and administration of the company is undertaken entirely on IT systems. These secure servers can be accessed from anywhere in the world which enables huge flexibility in the running of the airline and a huge reduction in costs in paper, printers etc.

If you are carrying hand baggage only, you can check-in whenever is convenient and with the ability to print your boarding pass from your pc at any time, and go straight to security at the airport can make the whole experience much easier, as long as you arrive at the gate no later than 25 minutes prior to departure of your flight there should few problems.
