Travellers making early holiday plans to Croatia for spring 2010 can now book easyJet flights after the carrier introduced a new sales process.

The airline has changed the way it releases its seats for forthcoming seasons, meaning that customers can now book flights up to the end of June 2010.

Flights from Gatwick Airport, East Midlands Airport, Manchester Airport, Edinburgh Airport and other bases have been put on sale, with fares starting from £25 one-way for flights to Europe and £36 to North Africa.

Seats for the summer holiday period next year are expected to go on sale sometime next month.

Paul Simmons, easyJet's regional general manager in the UK, said: "EasyJet is now releasing its seats for spring/summer 2010 earlier than ever to give our customers the opportunity to plan ahead and get our lowest possible prices for flights next year including over the Easter holiday period and the summer half term."

The airline serves some of Croatia's most popular holiday destinations from the UK, offering flights to Split from Gatwick and Bristol, and to Dubrovnik from Gatwick and Liverpool. EasyJet also flies from other European destinations to both cities – to Split from Geneva and Milan, and to Dubrovnik from Paris, Berlin, Geneva and Milan.

Spring 2010 flights from the UK to Split and Dubrovnik start at £33.99 including tax.
