LateRooms.com secures Easyjet deal

LateRooms.com has become the principal accommodation provider for Easyjet passengers.

LateRooms’ sister company Hotelopia will continue to service the easyJet partnership via easyJetholidays.com and dynamic packaging.

TUI Travel-owned online accommodation provider LateRooms will feature via a bespoke co-branded microsite.

The microsite will be multilingual, enabling customers to book accommodation in English, Spanish, French, German or Italian.

A dedicated call centre will also be available, with LateRooms supporting both online and offline bookings.

The airline’s head of ancillary revenue Bill McKimm said: "LateRooms is a perfect partner for easyJet, they were chosen on account of the brand’s exceptional value proposition and ability to offer customers a great breadth of choice.

"By combining two popular and trusted travel services our customers can enjoy the convenience of booking both flights and accommodation in one place. LateRooms compliments easyJet.com as a simple, quick and easy to use website with a huge choice when it comes to flights and accommodation in all of our destinations."

LateRooms commercial director Jenny Oakley added:"By integrating LateRooms’ extensive range of great value European accommodation within Easyjet, customers will be able to book a low cost flight and find the perfect place to stay at great value whether it’s for business or for pleasure."
