easyJet can now search flights and holidays in ChatGPT

What's new

On October 5, 2026, easyJet became available in ChatGPT. You connect easyJet's plugin (a kind of add-on) in ChatGPT on the website or in the mobile app. You can then write to the chatbot in plain language, for example that you are looking for a cheap trip to the sun during the fall break.

ChatGPT can search both regular flights and easyJet holidays package trips, where flight and hotel are bundled together. The answers are based on live prices and availability. If you have a trip coming up, you can also ask about the flight's current status. easyJet holidays sells trips from the UK, Switzerland, Germany and France. The sources do not say whether the service is available in Danish or has been rolled out in Denmark.

What's clever

You avoid typing dates and airports into a search engine and setting filters. Instead, you can describe what you want and get suggestions with real prices. That is convenient if you do not yet know where you want to go.

The purchase itself does not take place in the chat. When you have found something, you are sent on to easyJet.com for flight tickets or easyJet.com/holidays for package holidays. In other words, you pay on easyJet's own sites.

The background is that more people use AI to plan vacations. In an easyJet survey, 51 percent of respondents had used AI for travel planning, and 62 percent of them used ChatGPT. The survey covered 500 Britons. easyJet says that traffic from ChatGPT to the flights site rose by 400 percent in one year and to the holidays site by 125 percent. The figures apply to traffic that comes without paid advertising.

Cheaper or better?

The price of using the service has not been disclosed. The sources mention no extra fee, but it has also not been confirmed that ChatGPT use is completely free. You will presumably need a ChatGPT account. Nothing is said about whether a paid subscription is required.

It does not make the ticket itself cheaper. The prices are the same live prices easyJet has. What is new is that it is faster to find them. Nothing in the sources indicates that the service offers discounts.

EasyJet is not the first. In April 2026, Virgin Atlantic launched a similar app in ChatGPT as the world's first airline. The travel site Webjet also has a ChatGPT app for flights and hotels. Comparisons of how good easyJet's solution is relative to them have not yet been made.

Open question: you cannot book directly in the chat, so it is still a search aid and not a full booking assistant.

What it's good for

It suits you if you are open to suggestions and want inspiration for a vacation or weekend trip. It is also good if you want to compare several dates and destinations without clicking through many searches.

It is also convenient if you already use ChatGPT for travel planning and want prices that are up to date. And if you are already traveling, you can quickly ask whether your flight is on time.

If you have completely fixed dates and a specific route, easyJet's own website or app is probably still just as fast.
