easyJet holidays is offering to cover the cost of a baby's first UK passport for families booking a holiday, in a bid to make travelling abroad with young children more affordable.

The offer covers the £66.50 fee for a UK child's passport and is available for babies aged up to 18 months.

The promotion is designed to support families welcoming a new baby, with research commissioned by easyJet and easyJet holidays finding that 75% of parents believed the offer would make travelling with a baby more affordable.

The research also found that almost one in 10 parents did not realise their baby needed a passport until they began planning a holiday.

The offer comes as easyJet holidays reported a 10% increase in infant travellers in 2026 compared with 2025.



Stuart Wright, customer director at easyJet holidays, said: "Travel has a unique way of bringing families together, and a baby's very first holiday is often one of those moments parents remember for years to come.

"By covering the cost of a baby's first passport, we're helping more families start making those memories that little bit sooner.

"Combined with our great-value packages, family-friendly hotels and thousands of free kids places, it's another way we're making family holidays easier and more affordable."

Kate West, easyJet captain, said: "We carry millions of families across Europe every year, and we know that travelling with a baby brings a whole series of exciting firsts.

"We want to make travel as easy and accessible as possible for everyone, including young families, so they can enjoy all the experiences and memories that travel can bring.

"We hope that covering the cost of a baby's first passport goes a small way towards making that first family adventure a little easier and gives our youngest travellers a warm welcome to the world."
