EasyJet has urged Britons to dispense with the winter blues, and start planning a summer holiday.

Despite a spree of cancellations, some as recent as Friday morning, EasyJet continues to put a pleasant spin on the frosty conditions by announcing twenty-one new routes at its European hubs.

Bristol gets three. Liverpool Airport is going to Bodrum, Turkey for its holidays, whilst Stansted gets four new flights out of London, commencing May 2010. EasyJet now boasts 29 routes from Stansted, served by 13 aeroplanes.

Airport boss, David Johnston, hailed the excellent news – “This announcement is a real positive beginning to 2010, and offers our passengers even more choice to increasingly popular destinations.”

The additions are part of the carrier’s sun and sea campaign, which attracts thousands of customers every summer. EasyJet has expanded its Stansted roster three times in the past ten weeks, much to the delight of airport brass.

EasyJet’s new routes travel to Dubrovnik and Split in Croatia, and Dalaman and Bodrum in Turkey. The cost of living is known to be much cheaper in these historic towns, being that Turkey and Croatia are outside the European Union.

On Friday, EasyJet cancelled 30 flights out of London, Belfast and Liverpool as the ubiquitous snow turned into thick ice overnight. The airline then attacked Gatwick Airport for operating far below normal capacity, and forcing delays on customers.

With temperatures falling to as low as -22 in some areas of the UK, passengers and airport personnel are braced for another difficult weekend.

If you are an EasyJet customer who has been affected by the recent delays and cancellations, please visit the airline’s website, where you may be able to claim a refund or arrange a free transfer to another airport.
