EasyJet resumes flights to Madeira from 1 July

This news has just come in now, but reading some of your comments and emails I have had, it seems easyjet have taken down all flight bookings for July.

I had an email yesterday saying British Airways have cancelled the flight for the beginning of July, and now people are getting cancelled flights from easyjet.

Have you had flights cancelled????

I’m wondering if we will start hearing this from Jet2 as well.

This is the news in the Diário Notícias this morning.

EasyJet will resume flights to Madeira, starting on July 1st.

In Portugal, the airline will operate in 50 destinations, in July, and 59, in August, to and from the four main airports, namely Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Madeira.

EasyJet announces that it will fly up to three quarters of its usual route network in July and August. To coincide with the massive start of flights, the airline launches the biggest sale ever, with over one million seats for holiday destinations across Europe, for just 29.99 euros, for trips between 1 July and October 31, 2020.

“We are pleased to announce that we will be traveling on most of our routes across Europe, which means that customers can still reach their chosen destination for this year’s summer vacation,” said José Lopes, general manager of EasyJet Portugal.

“Our main objective is to help our customers fly again, which is why we offer a million seats for 29.99 euros for those planning to book a holiday this summer. Travel restrictions are being lifted and demand is starting to return, so there is no better time to launch this campaign ”, he continued.

EasyJet will implement a series of measures developed jointly with aviation authorities, EASA and ICAO and at national level to help ensure the safety and well-being of passengers and crew.

These measures also include improved cleaning and disinfection of aircraft and the requirement that passengers and crew must wear masks. Customers will be able to practice social distance at airports, at gates and during boarding. On board, and whenever possible, the crew will invite passengers to distance themselves from customers who do not belong to the same group when seats are available.

  1. Seems the official spokesperson is behind the curve. No easyJet fights into or out of Madeira in July and in August I count just three flights per week.

    Insofar as the million seats up for sale at €29.99 each I take that with a grain of salt if I were you. A cheap interest free loan I reckon.

  2. On 1st June Easyjet cancelled all its flights to Madeira for the whole of July.

  3. From 1st August Easyjet are offering 5 flights per week from London Gatwick, down from their pre-covid number of 8 flights per week. These flights could of course be all cancelled when they next review their flights on 1st July.

  4. Having text messages from airline stating flights cancelled for July.

  5. For sure no airline will take the risk of flying with such draconian measures in place, just not viable. Already had flights cancelled with easyJet June and waiting for news from Jet 2 to say the same for our July trip.

    The world has gone mad for something that effects a minority of people, there has to be a better way to protect the vulnerable.

    To recap still half the number of people have died with Covid19 than with normal flu at 660000…. no we are all doomed..

    Having all given up our freedoms, liberties and the young their futures perhaps it’s time for a switch, the vulnerable continue to stay at home and let everyone else get on with sorting out the mess, the lockdown has created a situation far worse than the virus.

    As for politicians, what is it they say, fear creates power, power reduces freedoms and creates despots and totalitarian states.

  6. I have done some trial bookings, from Lisbon to Madeira and I can book those flights. I tried several dates, like july 2nd, and it gets me as far as the payment page. I am sure easyJet won’t resume all flights, so if you want to travel from the UK you may have to try a different airline. Amsterdam-Lisbon won’t be operated either yet.

  7. Hi. We have flights booked to Madeira in July with easyjet, from Bristol. We have not received a text or email cancelling the flights. Where is the information regarding easyjet July cancellations coming from?

    1. People wifh booked flights. I think it might be in the first half if the month, but not everyone is getting them, so have no clue what’s going on, and BA are doing exactly the same now, so it seems this has something to do with the mandatory quarantine in UK, but this is only in place for 3 weeks till end of june. So still don’t really know.

  8. Hi! We have a flight on June 15th from Berlin!! Did not get any cancelation messages from EasyJet yet!!!

  9. I have flight booked with easyjet for 9 July..no cancellation message

  10. Easyjet at the moment are generally not sending out cancellation notifications til about 12 to 14 days before the flight. Clearly they are doing this so they can hang on to customers money for longer.
    The only way to check whether your flight is cancelled is to try and do a dummy booking on their site and even then it can be confusing as they show the flights as sold out rather than cancelled. If you look at their site, evey flight from London, Bristol and Manchester to Madeira is mysteriously ‘Sold Out’. for July but none is sold out in August. The flights are not sold out, it is just that Easyjet have not ‘officially’ cancelled all the flights so they don’t have to pay back any money yet.

  11. EasyJet cancelled our flight from Funchal to Lisbon on 24 April. We applied for a refund exactly as they told us to. We haven’t heard from them and no refund.

  12. We are due to fly from Bristol to Madeira on 2 July and so far we have heard nothing from Easyjet. Last week their website showed that there was availability on July flights but now they are all showing as sold out. I doubt that they have been inundated with bookings in the last few days so who knows what is going on.

  14. I have a flight booked on the 20th June and I haven’t heard anything yet…?

  15. I have a flight booked for the 20th June and I haven’t received anything…?

  16. Easyjet told me this week that once you have requested a refund it will be ninety days before it reaches your credit card. I was chasing up a late March cancellation.
    When I asked for a refund for my June cancellation, through their “Covid help hub” , it says on screen that you should not contact them again unless it is longer than ninety days since your application.

  17. We were due to fly to Madeira 12 June but only had a cancellation email on Friday and only then were able to apply for a refund. Before that they try and tempt you to change to a later date or accept a voucher with a little bonus. June had shown all flights full for a long time which in effect meant they were cancelled. July is now showing all flights full which I’m afraid means cancelled. They just won’t let you apply for a refund until about a week before. They then tell you it will take at least 28 days to process. I expect it will be longer. So disappointed not to be able to come next week but we certainly will be returning to our favourite place.

  18. We are missing Maderia also, but whilst so many deaths in the U.K. everyday, we will not be getting on a plane to have to walk round with a mask. Don’t call a holiday at all. Why are places so desperate to start welcoming tourists, we all know it’s money but surely health comes first. We are booked for Christmas/new year but not holding our breath for flying even then.

  20. Today told EasyJet Holidays has cancelled our flight and hotel package due to leave on 13 August ? But we have rebooked same hotel with BA Holidays for 15 August.
