The Easter bank holiday is approaching fast (9 - 12 April 2004), and it’s an ideal opportunity to get away. But have you planned your trip yet?
If you’ve got kids, why not take them to Paris for a short break? The city has many parks and gardens in which to run wild, a couple of zoos, several circuses, and of course Disneyland Paris and Parc Astérix. Fly to Paris Charles de Gaulle from Liverpool, London Luton, and Newcastle.
Or why not take your family to Amsterdam for a visit to the Dutch bulb fields? After all, Easter celebrates the return of spring, and daffodils, tulips, and crocuses!
Many Spanish cities such as Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid, Malaga, and Palma de Majorca celebrate Easter in style with the Holy Week (Semana Santa), featuring long processions, parades and fairs. The most spectacular element of this week is the candlelight procession at dawn on Good Friday. easyJet has 43 destinations to choose from, so there’s plenty of choice for Easter breaks. Click through to the destinations section on our website for some real inspiration! And remember that easyJet sells one-way flights, giving you flexibility to create travel plans tailored exactly to your specific needs. So hurry to book your Easter break - you’ve only got a few weeks left!
The ski season is almost over, and soon you’ll have to wait a whole year before you can go skiing again. So why not book a final quick trip to the slopes to round off the season?
Fly to Geneva for popular resorts such as Verbier - great for the more experienced skier and snow-boarder - and Crans Montana or Saas Fee which also cater for beginners. Fly to Zurich for easy access to the Swiss Alps, and resorts such as Arosa, Engelberg, and Flims. If you like some flamboyant Italian goings-on during your winter break, why not fly to Venice, from where you have excellent access to the Dolomites. If you feel like treating yourself, Italy’s poshest resort, Cortina, is only a few hour’s transfer away from Venice airport.
