Easyjet continues to expand with a number of new routes both from the UK and within mainland Europe. In particular Easyjet's decision to serve to Lisbon is good news for business people visiting the Portuguese capital.
Few budget airlines serve Lisbon (one exception being Monarch from Gatwick) and fares can be costly. Easyjet will also enter the Italian domestic market for the first time and compete head to head with local carriers Alitalia and Meridiana.
The new services start on various dates in March and April. From the UK they include Luton to Lisbon commencing March 1 with two other key routes from Liverpool heading for Krakow on April 10 and Marseille on April 11.
Significant routes within mainland Europe include Lisbon to Milan Malpensa from April 21 and Lisbon to Paris CDG starting March 1.
Italian domestic services include routes from Milan Malpensa to Naples on March 2 along with Palermo and Olbia (Sardinia) both on April 21.
Fares start from around £45 return and tickets go on sale from January 6.
