easyJet is celebrating the release of new film Greatest Days, in which the airline plays its very own starring role.

The feel-good musical movie which premiers today features the hits of Take That and follows a group of school friends who reunite 25 years later after winning easyJet flights to Athens to see their favourite boy band in concert, celebrating the power of friendship and travel bringing people together.

To mark the film’s release, easyJet is encouraging more friends to explore Europe together by launching its first Tik Tok competition, offering the chance to win a £1000 towards an easyJet holiday, simply by sharing who you’d take with you on a trip to Greece.  
Recent research by easyJet based on 2,000 UK adults revealed last month that British holidaymakers are prioritising and placing even more value on travel than before, with over a third of Brits saying that since the pandemic they put more value on enjoying life and prefer to make lifelong memories over spending their money on material items. This focus on travel is set to continue with 9 in 10 Brits saying they will travel more or about the same in 2024.

With 60 routes from the UK to Greek destinations, including four routes to Athens from London Gatwick, Bristol, Manchester and Edinburgh, easyJet is the largest carrier to Greece and the Greek Islands and is operating 64% more seats compared to 2019 offering customers even more choice to explore its iconic islands and majestic mainland with friends and loved ones.
