easyJet said in a statement: "We understand there is uncertainty around travel at this time, so if you currently have a booking with us but would prefer not to fly then from tomorrow (13.03.2020), you can now change your flight online and we will waive the flight change fee.
"This applies to all existing and new bookings until further notice. Should there be a difference in fare you'll need to pay this - however by waiving the change fee, we want to ensure you have more flexibility to amend your travel plans."
