FCO advice here.

if the flights are still operating and FCO advice does not change to "essential journeys only" there's not likely to be a penalty-free changes policy - although check with the airline.

ps i think it likely (although not certain, you would forfeit this flight and have to buy another one when you wanted to go

Unless easyjet cancel your flight you will have to pay a fee to change the flight - this is around £35 per person per flight and you will also have to pay the difference in price if the new flight is more expensive (but you won’t get anything back if the new one is cheaper). If the FCO advise against travel, your insurance company might reimburse you for the costs of the flight (even if the flight has not been cancelled by easyjet) because flying against FCO advice could invalidate your insurance.

Doesn't help, but Qatar Airways have announced that you can reschedule flights FOC or have a voucher for the cost of the fare valid for 1 year. Full marks to them. (Bad mark to BA when I tried to reschedule with them.)

nothing is free in easy jet
so yes there is a charge - I thought it was £20- £60

awful airline - I feel ill just thinking about it (did Luxor to Manchester the other week and it was as bad as it sounds)

I am in same boat( or plane!)and EasyJet have emailed to offer free rebooking up to 2021. As flight gets nearer I am waiting for refund button to appear as they only print dates 3 days in advance. My question is that they state you can pay the difference on a dearer flight but mine was over £400 each and they are offering flights from £29.99 and no mention of refunds!
