easyJet has shared some 'breaking news'

easyJet has issued a 48 hours alert to millions of potential holidaymakers as it launches a major new way to book flights.

In a post on its official Instagram page, the airline explained how people can "swap the everyday for some serious spontaneity", with a video further clarifying how and why people will be able to use its new booking filter. A woman, dressed in easyJet's signature orange, delivered some "breaking news". She explained: "Drop Everything is officially launched and it's never been easier to catch flights within the next 48 hours".

The humorous video went on to add that "people are being overtaken by the sudden urge to abandon their day to day lives immediately". Drop Everything is described by easyJet as "the spontaneous urge to travel".

easyJet's 'inspire me' page now includes a new filter highlighting flights departing in the next 48 hours, "making it even easier to book a last minute spontaneous getaway". At the time of publication, return flights within the next two days from London Luton start at £65.98 per person (to Majorca).

The cheapest flights from London Stansted, London Southend, and London Gatwick, begin at £68.98 (to Edinburgh), £71.98 (to Ibiza), and £85.21 (to Faro), respectively. You can also select one-way flights if you wish.

For return flights, you can use a filter to select if you'd like to come back within a few days, stay for a week, or be away for more than seven nights. You can also enter your budget and a "trip type", with some of these including those beyond Europe, off the beaten track, and "sand, sun and swim", among many others.
