  Since the pandemic EJ have really only had domestic flights from Stansted and a handful of flights from Southend starting last summer so really not a surprise.
  Economically Southend must make sense for them.
  The airport is connected directly by train to London and you can have breakfast at the Holiday Inn and walk to the terminal in 5 minutes so yes, a joy to fly out of.

  How opportune that Easyjet have announced more flights from the town with the highest NHS waiting list in the country, I wonder if the two things are related by any chance?

  Is this not a re-opening of a closed base? I seem to remember Easyjet had a base in Southend pre-covid, as did Ryanair. Easyjet were in fact the first airline to open a base when the airport was re-positioning itself as a passenger airport around 2008? I remember flying from the newly opened terminal to Barcelona around that time.

  The Accor offer appears to be showing more extensively as I’ve just re-booked a Vietnam booking for the summer and the 25% is showing.
