I had booked a trip to Prague in the spring, that obviously did not go ahead. A month or so ago, after the travel restrictions had been lifted, I re-arranged my Easyjet flights for this autumn, and got the hotel to change my booking to match. No charge to amend the flights, slight charge for the hotel booking.
However, I have just been told by Easyjet that my new outward flight has now been cancelled. No notification yet about the return journey, suppose I will have to wait until their notification engine rolls that far forward. OK, I knew that there was a risk that the trip might get cancelled if there was a resurgence in covid, but not that the airline might just decide not to bother running the advertised schedule.
Looking at their booking engine, they have cut the number of flights substantially, from two a day, every day, to just a single flight every other day. That is a substantial cut. Are other airlines doing similar?
People who had their holidays cancelled by covid, and who have rebooked based on all the enticements from the airlines to travel again, are not going to be happy if the airlines now cancel on them again. I think Easyjet are shooting themselves in the foot by doing this. Overseas travel in now a complete lottery.
