The airline said "thousands" of families are set to fly during the February half-term, with Spain, Switzerland, France, and Italy among the most popular destinations.

To help make travel easy for parents and children alike, the carrier and First News have teamed up to offer the free digital subscription to all UK customers flying between 7 and 28 February.
 
The newspaper offers access to "factual and impartial news and entertainment" with age-appropriate articles, photos, interviews, puzzles, games and competitions.

Ali Gayward, easyJet’s UK country manager, said the return of test free travel in time for the half-term break will be "welcome news for so many families".

"We are always striving to ensure we make travel easy and fun for young flyers and our partnership with First News is another initiative designed to help to get kids flying with us get engaged in reading during the holidays," Gayward added.
