A Holiday Cheaper than Staying at Home

That was the essence of a new promotion by easyJet Holidays this week, that sold out the day it was announced.

To quote from a report:

The budget airline and travel company launched the month-long trip to Hurghada, Egypt, with much fanfare on 24 October.

With departures from early January costing £650 per person on an all-inclusive basis, easyJet Holidays said it could “confirm that yes, comparably, our new 28-day winter escape is cheaper than staying at home this year” due to soaring energy bills and inflation rates.

The package includes all accommodation and taxes at Stella Gardens Resort Hurghada, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks, drinking water, wifi, flights and airport transfers, plus a 23kg hold bag per person.

Holidaymakers were clearly enticed by the low-cost deal, with the “Escape The UK Package” completely selling out on the day of release.
