This includes new routes to Antalya, Corfu, Dalaman, Enfidha, Faro, Lisbon, Malta, Nice, Prague, Reus, Rhodes, Rome, Sharm-El-Sheikh, Tenerife and now Marrakech.

All packages can be booked with a low deposit of £60 per person and benefit from a Best Price Guarantee, meaning that if holidaymakers find the same package cheaper elsewhere, easyJet holidays will beat the price.
