Access Denied on Website
Has anyone been unable to reach Easyjet's website because they are greeted with an "Access Denied" message as soon as they click on any link associated to easyjet.com?
I've been having this issue for days now and it's absolutely preventing me from booking any flight with Easyjet.
I've tried numerous workarounds already including using data instead of wifi, using Incognito mode, and using mobile instead of computer.

I can log in with no issues from PC (chrome), iPad (safari) and iPhone App. Have you tried to log in using private/incognito mode? If you still have issues perhaps try clearing your cache and/or cookies.

Have you in the past used an OTA or travel organiser like On The Beach or Love Holidays, to book an EasyJet flight?
I have heard that their system might think you (or your IP address) is that of a travel company and therefore the system denying you access to the direct consumer site.

Yes I've tried private/incognito mode but to no avail. These modes supposedly don't keep track of existing browsing history or cookies.
I've been trying to access from HKG if that matters.

You might also try using the EasyJet app and see if that works any better.

They probably get significantly more legitimate bookings from Canada than Hong Kong. It's a risk vs. reward calculation for the airline.

I don't get why Easyjet has to do this. Being based in HKG I eventually bought my ticket via a travel agent. Luckily I did not need to change my ticket but it could easily become a hassle if I did.
Really wonder what it would cost Easyjet to expand accessibility to IP addresses based in Asia as well.

most people who are looking to make legitimate purchases dont use VPNs. Who is more likely to use a VPN? A hacker.
its a misguided policy at best

Using the app or website from your foreign phone (with WiFi disabled) may provide an easy workaround depending on how your mobile provider routes data.
