easyJet is a UK-based low-cost carrier flying across Europe. It does NOT fly to India — Indian travellers use it for cheap flights between European cities during a Europe trip. Bundles are Standard, Standard Plus, Essentials and Flexi (plus Business Inclusive). Only a small under-seat cabin bag is free on every fare; a normal trolley is a paid large cabin bag — the single most common surprise fee.

General Cancellation & Reschedule Notes
easyJet fares are NON-REFUNDABLE after 24 hours of booking. Within 24 hours you can cancel for a refund MINUS a cancellation fee (~£49 online / £55 by phone) — it is not a free cancellation. After 24 hours no fare refund is given, though unused government taxes (APD etc.) are reclaimable via Customer Services. If you arrive within 2 hours after departure you may transfer to the next flight for a Rescue Fee. Refunds (where due) go to the original payment method.
Change fee + fare difference; the fee steps up at the 60-days-before mark (~£25 online >60 days, ~£49 online ≤60 days; higher via Customer Services). Change online up to 2 hours before departure (bag-drop up to 1 hour). Flexi fares allow a free date/time change within ±1 day. ⚠️ Indian (non-EU) passengers: passport/visa is scanned at bag drop and it is your responsibility — use easyJet's TravelDoc tool and allow extra time.
Consumer protections: Statutory government taxes are typically refundable on request even for non-refundable fares. EU261 (for EU departures), US DOT rules (for US departures) and similar consumer-protection regulations may also apply to your booking.
