Travelling with EasyJet has been made easier after the budget airline altered its travel advice. According to The Sun, the company has amended its website stating that passports only need three months before expiry when travelling abroad.
Since the UK left the EU, Brits have needed at least three months left on their passport in order to travel to Europe. However, some airlines have compiled their own rules, with EasyJet previously asking for longer.
The EasyJet rules previously stated that anyone travelling internationally with the airline needed a passport with at least six months of validity. However, this has now been changed in line with the government's guidance stating that passports must be "valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)".

A spokesperson for EasyJet told The Independent they had reviewed the information to make it as "clear as possible" for passengers.
They said: "Having recently reviewed the guidance provided on government passport validity requirements, we have now updated this on our website to ensure they are clear and to avoid any misinterpretation."
The EasyJet website now states: "Please check your passport's expiry and issue date before you travel.
"If you're a UK passport holder travelling to the EU (except Ireland), or Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, the Vatican City or Switzerland, your passport will need to meet the following criteria:
- It must be valid for at least three months after the day you plan to depart from the EU or above countries
- It must be no more than 10 years' old on the date of travel to the EU or above countries"
