At Easy Avenues, we want to be responsible in our travel choices, to ensure we’re offsetting our environmental impact. Therefore, not only do we offer our clients the opportunity to offset the CO₂ emissions on their travel, but we as a company are investing in carbon offsetting projects worldwide.

These projects provide lasting social and economic benefits in developing countries globally, both directly and indirectly.

One project we have supported is Energy Efficient Lighting in India:

"This project was developed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) to promote energy efficient lighting in India, thus reducing the electricity, and therefore carbon emissions generated from the grid. When established, around 76% of India’s electricity was generated from coal – and so by reducing energy consumption and efficiency, over 35,000 tonnes of CO2e are offset each year."

The new rules regarding limits on liquids have changed just 9 days after they were introduced.

Restrictions at 6 UK airports - including London's City and Southend - have been temporarily reintroduced as of 9th June.

It adds to the existing chaos, where multiple airports - including Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester - have already missed the original deadline.

Please ensure you check the rules at your airport before you travel.

All of the airports which are affected have upgraded to new high-tech CT scanners.
