Quick summary
UK families booking an easyJet holidays package before November 26, 2026 can have the £66.50 cost of a child’s first UK passport covered — one child per booking, with travel completed by October 31, 2028.
The child must be under 18 months at booking and under two when flying. The discount applies to the holiday package, not the infant’s airfare, and the passport application stays the family’s own job.
A first passport for a British baby costs £66.50. It is not the line item that usually decides whether a family gets on a plane — but easyJet holidays is betting it is the one that tips the decision.
The airline’s package-holiday arm launched the promotion on October 22, 2026, absorbing that fee for one child per eligible booking. UK customers who book by November 26, 2026 and complete travel by October 31, 2028 qualify, provided the child is under 18 months when the booking is made and under two on the travel date.
That age window is narrow, and it is deliberate.
The offer lands at the exact moment a household is weighing whether an infant makes a first overseas trip affordable. That is before the passport is applied for, before seats are chosen, before anyone has committed to anything. It is also a package-holiday discount, not a fare cut. Families still pay for the flight, the hotel and the passport application itself; easyJet removes one upfront cost from the total.
What the easyJet baby passport offer actually covers
The headline number is the one that matters most: £66.50, exactly what the UK government charges for a child passport applied for online. That match is not accidental. The GOV.UK child passport service sets the online fee at £66.50 and the paper route at £80 — so a family applying through the Post Office would still be £13.50 short of whole.
Small gap, real consequence. It is the kind of detail that decides whether a promotion feels like a gift or a technicality.
Eligibility is tighter than the headline suggests. One child per booking, and that child must be under 18 months when the holiday is booked and under two on the day of travel. A second child on the same booking is not covered. The easyJet holidays family page carries the live terms.
Separately, easyJet will not carry infants younger than 14 days, and babies must travel with an adult on the same booking — rules that sit outside the promotion and apply whether or not a family claims it. The application itself is not a formality either: it needs two identical photographs, the child’s birth certificate, the parent’s British passport, and a countersignatory who has known the parent for at least two years.
| Requirement | Threshold | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Child’s age at booking | Under 18 months | Older toddlers do not qualify, even with no existing passport |
| Child’s age at travel | Under two years | A child who turns two before departure falls outside the offer |
| Booking deadline | November 26, 2026 | The package must be booked inside this window |
| Travel completion | October 31, 2028 | Trips can be booked well ahead but must finish by this date |
| Children covered | One per booking | A second child on the same booking is not covered |
| Passport fee matched | £66.50 online / £80 paper | Paper applicants still pay the £13.50 difference |
A UK child passport runs for five years, which means the document will outlast the offer’s travel window by years. Families booking a 2028 trip are applying for a passport that stays valid well into the next decade.

Why the discount is smaller than it looks
No rival carrier has a verified equivalent on the table, which makes this a product-specific move rather than an industry standard. The distinction matters: this is a package-holiday discount tied to an eligible easyJet holidays booking, not a reduction in the infant’s flight fare.
And that is the part families miss. Lap infants typically fly at little or no fare, so the airfare was never the barrier — the passport fee was. Airlines rarely discount the thing you were already going to buy. They discount the friction point that stops you buying anything at all.
Price the whole package before treating the £66.50 as a saving. Baggage, transfers, seat selection and the infant’s own travel rules all sit outside the offer, and a cheaper headline elsewhere can still win on total cost. Air Traveler Club’s airline promo tracking follows limited-window campaigns like this one across more than 150 carriers.
How to claim it without losing the discount
The offer is conditional on dates that are easy to miss — check them before you pay, not after.
- Check the child’s age on both dates. Under 18 months at booking, under two at travel. A child who turns two before departure falls outside the offer entirely.
- Book the eligible package before November 26, 2026. The booking window is fixed, and the October 31, 2028 travel deadline is a separate condition.
- Apply through GOV.UK and choose the online route. The £66.50 fee is the one the promotion matches; the £80 paper application leaves £13.50 uncovered.
- Allow real time for the passport to arrive. The discount is not same-day travel savings — the document has to be issued before anyone boards.
- Confirm the live terms at booking. Whether the discount is applied upfront or reconciled later is a question the terms page answers, not the marketing copy.
Watch: easyJet’s family-holidays terms page — any volume cap or early withdrawal will appear there first, and November 26 is the hard stop.

Questions? Answers.
Does the offer cover the passport fee or reimburse it afterwards?
easyJet advertises the promotion as covering the cost of a child’s first passport on eligible bookings. Whether that is applied as a discount at the point of booking or reconciled afterwards is set out in the offer’s terms, which families should read before paying.
Can I claim the discount for more than one child?
No. The promotion covers one child per booking. A second child on the same booking does not qualify.
What happens if my child turns two before we travel?
The offer requires the child to be under two on the travel date. A child who has a second birthday before departure falls outside the eligibility window, even if the booking was made when they were younger.
Does the discount cover a paper passport application?
No. The promotion matches the £66.50 online fee. A paper application costs £80, leaving £13.50 for the family to pay.
