EasyJet cabin crew in certain countries are voting on whether to strike over pay and conditions. It’s the classic “we want a fair slice of the Easter egg” situation. Their peak travel time is your biggest headache.
The danger is that this is a perfect storm. Easter falls early, flights are packed, and even a whisper of strike action can cause a cascade of cancellations. It’s like trying to get the last hot cross bun—everyone wants one, and there aren’t enough to go around.
So far, EasyJet says they’ll try to keep things running, but they’ve warned of “potential disruption.” In airline speak, that means: pack your patience and a backup charger.
How to Stay Sane Through the Storm
Don’t panic. Instead, channel your inner airport ninja. Check your flight status daily. The EasyJet app is your new best friend (even if you want to throw your phone at the wall).
Easter travel chaos as delays and cancellations hit BA, EasyJet
Book your parking and transfers with cancellation flexibility. Trust me, having a refundable taxi is like having a spare pair of dry socks — you might not need it, but you’ll be so grateful if you do. Also, pack a snack. Hangry airport people are the worst kind of people.
If you can, plan for the worst. Have a backup idea for a local staycation. It’s not the same as a beach in Spain, but a nearby cottage with a pub lunch and an Easter egg hunt can still be a win. It’s about the company, not the air miles.
