easyJet holidays is offering UK customers a £66.50 discount intended to cover the cost of a baby’s first passport when they book a qualifying trip. The offer applies to one infant under 18 months per booking, with travel available until 31 October 2028.
The promotion is aimed at families travelling abroad with children under two. Parents must make their booking by 26 November 2026, while the infant must still be under two years old on the date of travel.
What the easyJet passport offer includes
The discount is available through easyJet holidays rather than as a general reimbursement for passport applications. It applies to one child per booking and is valued at £66.50, equivalent to approximately €79.40.
- Discount: £66.50
- Eligible child: One infant under 18 months at the time of booking
- Age at travel: The child must be under two
- Booking deadline: 26 November 2026
- Travel deadline: 31 October 2028
Families should check the full booking terms before purchasing, including any conditions attached to the discount and the holiday package.
Why more families are travelling with babies
The offer comes as easyJet holidays reports a 10% increase in infants travelling in 2026 compared with 2025. The figure was reported before the end of the year, meaning the final annual comparison may change.
A survey of 2,000 British parents who had travelled abroad with children before the age of five found that 82% regarded a child’s first overseas holiday as an important family milestone. More than half described it as one of their proudest parenting moments.
Travelling with a baby can involve additional planning, from obtaining documents and arranging suitable seating to managing feeding, sleep and luggage. However, 48% of parents surveyed said travelling with young children had been easier than expected, while 87% said they would do it again.
What parents should consider before booking
Families travelling with an infant should confirm several practical details before departure:
- Whether the child has a valid passport for the entire journey
- Airline rules for infants travelling on an adult’s lap
- Whether a separate infant fare applies
- Pushchair, car-seat and baggage policies
- Accommodation arrangements for cots and feeding equipment
- Travel insurance covering the baby
- Entry requirements for the destination country
How UK child passports work
UK child passports are generally valid for five years. Parents applying for a passport must provide supporting documents, including the child’s birth certificate and evidence connected to British nationality. Two identical passport photographs are also required.
Photograph requirements are more flexible for young children than for adults. Children under five do not need to maintain a neutral expression or look directly at the camera. Babies under one do not necessarily need to have their eyes open.
An identity confirmer, commonly known as a countersignatory, may also be required. The person must meet the eligibility conditions set by the UK government, including having known the applicant for at least two years and holding a valid British or Irish passport. Applicants should consult the official UK government guidance because requirements can vary according to the application and the child’s circumstances.
Flying with children under two
Airlines commonly permit infants under two to travel on an accompanying adult’s lap, although charges and conditions differ between carriers. Parents should check the airline’s current policy before booking, particularly if they need an approved car seat or want to reserve an additional seat.
Some airlines provide bassinets on selected aircraft and seats, but availability is limited and must usually be requested in advance. easyJet’s arrangements may differ from those of other carriers, so families should review the airline’s own guidance rather than assume that a bassinet or specific seating option is available.
Parents should also allow extra time at the airport. Passport checks, security procedures, boarding and the handling of pushchairs can take longer when travelling with a baby.
What the offer means for UK travellers
The promotion could reduce one of the upfront costs associated with an infant’s first overseas trip. It does not remove the need to apply for a passport, meet destination entry rules or ensure that the child’s documents are ready before travel.
For families considering a package holiday, the key points are the booking cut-off, the child’s age at travel and the restriction to one eligible infant per booking. Parents should also compare the total holiday price and conditions, rather than treating the passport discount as the only factor in their decision.
Conclusion
easyJet holidays is offering eligible UK families a £66.50 discount designed to cover a baby’s first passport as part of a qualifying booking. The promotion may make an infant’s first holiday more affordable, but parents still need to complete the passport process and check airline and destination requirements well before departure.
