Flights post 29 March 2019

What happens if I book a flight with Easyjet for any date after 29 March 2019 and because of a 'no deal' or any similar problem their capacity is restricted and I cannot fly. Am I safest to not book?

    In the extremely unlikely event that happens you'd get a refund.
  • Yes that would be safest.
    Probably best to start collecting a few tins in too. Bottled water and candles too. Most of the power/ water companies are European owned.
  • And get a rifle, to shoot any looters
  • All passports will become null and void at 00:01 GMT on 30th March 2019 and you'll have to hand them in at your local police station within 24 hours.

    All British nationals abroad, including those on cruise ships, will be rounded up and deported back to the UK without delay.
    So make your travel and holiday plans accordingly - and don't forget to drink a toast :beer: to all those who voted to leave the EU.
  • easyjet have already thought of the issue and registered an airline in Austria, they have had Easyjet Switzerland as well for many years. If, as appears increasingly likely, there is no deal, as an EU airline, easyjet will continue to fly as it does today, so will BA (Spanish) Ryanair(Irish) and Thomas Cooks and TUI who have licences all over the EU

    This is incorrect. Without a deal and unless something else is cobbled together specifically covering air travel in the meantime, the UK will fall out of the Open Skies Agreement and NO airline will be able to fly between UK and the EEA.


    Highly unlikely scenario I admit but I for one am nor booking any flights until the position is clarified.

    So the rest of us will book the cheap seats now and when you come to book you'll get the more expensive ones that are left. Thanks. :beer:
