Just got email from easyJet my return flight has been cancelled on 6 September for no apparent reason!
Has this happened to anyone else ?
I’ve not even got there yet ! Flying out tomorrow.

If your return flight is to Southend then there are no more flights in or out from 1st Sept. They are finished at southend.

Sad day for all Easyjet staff. Love Southend Airport so easy for us just 10 mins from home.

We love Southend. Same - 25 mins away. We use Ryanair now although Easyjet are our preferred airline but I have to say that Ryanair have not cancelled any of our flights so far and I do like their early morning take off.  We are due to fly on Friday. Been praying for quarantine to be called off or on this occasion Ryanair cancelling our flight.  Neither look likely 🙄

Newcastle Airport too, gutted we've only ever used easyjet and they've been excellent. I think for alicante/newcastle we are left with a choice of ryanair or ryanair, and the only time i ever used them was on a holiday with the girls when they cancelled our return flight the night before it left on 17 dec and told us there were no alternatives till boxing day, so im not encouraged by that!

We’ve had 2 cancelled for late September, unless quarantine rules change doubt we will come as 14 days isolation would drive me crazy .
Anyone think UK will change anytime soon?

There is always Jet2, who fly out of Stansted, and many other regional airports.  When we had our villa we used them in preference to Ryan Air.  Found them to be much more comfortable and friendly than Ryan Air!

Hi, We're in Hornchurch.  I don't like Gatwick at all - too big.  We have used Luton but parking is a bit of a nightmare so I would use Stansted.  I am lucky that my friend lives in Takeley which is max 10 mins away and lets me park on her drive but even that would not tempt me from Southend using Ryanair.  It looks like I will be changing my flight this Friday to a date in October.  Very disappointing.  Had a great deal on car hire as well.  £50 for 2 weeks with express check in with Record.  I am truly gutted  :'(

Can I ask those traveling to Spain what do you do for insurance if FCO advice is only essential travel for Spain and how do you cope with 14 days quarantine on return?
As both above issues are putting me off traveling to Spain at present plus the constant flight changes
