Holiday packages are designed in three sub menus- hotels, transport and holiday. ‘Hotels’ providing accommodations and value deals from destinations, ‘Transport’ proving car rental offers and airport transports.

Consequently, a ‘Transport’ section introducing airport transfer or airport parking in navigation is necessary for Easy Jet. In contrast, other airlines placed airport transports in the information section. ‘Holiday’ section offers deals classified by departure cities. The ‘Inspire me’ sub-menu mainly provided destination guides and a traveler magazine for users to explore travel routes.

    You know when you go on a family trip somewhere and you're so excited that you get to fly there even though you have to get to the airport really early but have fun on the way to your terminal and area thing then you're stuck in the airport for two hours just to find out you're in the wrong terminal because either the person holding the tickets read it wrong or the people just decided to change the area the plane will land in (it’s usually the first one). So you have to run to the other side and still have to wait, like half an hour for the plane to get there only for the plane to be late, or deiced, or it's just not working right. Trust me it’s even worse when you're stuck on the plane after it’s landed because something was wrong with it…

    Try to think of the world without air travel. Can you imagine what it would be like? Would things be different than they are today? Airlines have not been around forever and in the reality of things, air travel has only been around for a few decades. Air travel has changed the way people live their lives, how companies operate, and even how our country operates on a daily basis. As of today, there are more than fifteen major airlines in the United States, but it wasn’t always that way. The industry had to begin somewhere, and that’s where Eastern Airlines earned its name.…

    Today I've come to one simple decision. Taking flight on a commercial airliner is disagreeable in these days. At once, so that you recognize, I'm not picking at first-class or affronting the sizing of the coach seats. I am talking about the issue of flight times and stopovers. Remember when was the last time you had a flight to any destination? I agree with all the security standards. However, the fact is that the runway is overcrowded and most of the flights are over-booked. This heats up arrivals and departures. This is why you believe while you have got excellent cheap air flight tickets, you have only bought a load of hassles. What happened to old times of taking flight and arriving punctually as scheduled?…
