Cheers, been waiting to buy some flights for next year.


Bit rude, someone's only trying to be helpful, and looks like most other people think so apart from you.

Good to know, but not really a deal. Misc?

Thanks for letting us know the date seats are released.

Fab heads up

Useful to know, especially given their price guarantee! May as well book now and keep an eye on the prices

what time on 6th?

Great, thanks good information

Thanks. I'm waiting for spring sale release.

Thanks for the "heads up"!
How did you find out?

Thanks op, would have missed if in the misc section.

It's on their website. I've been checking daily as it just said 'early October' but they announced it today.

No idea I guess midnight?

thank you

:)heat added

Its not usually midnight, its about 6-7am last couple of times .

Misleading. They are not on sale, merely available for purchase.

Can't believe they don't fly to Ibiza from Manchester or Liverpool

Ty op

Is that midnight of the 6th then? Looking for tickets to Tenerife during the Easter breaks

good to know

Not as cheap as they used to be. Then again Labour Party didn't help things when the cheap flights was at its peak

thanks

Thanks for the reminder.

I don't know the time the website doesn't say. I'm guessing midnight but it could be after or they may release seats in stages which is what has happened before.

thank you

This Thursday – the cheapest time to book millions of seats? Includes Easter 2017

Easyjet's prices are fluid and move based on demand for any particular flight. When they're released, they're usually priced cheaply, then this can change quickly depending on how many are booking. So if you can pounce when they're launched, you're often getting the very cheapest deal.

When does it launch the tickets?

They're released in five tranches throughout the year. Easyjet's prices are based on demand, so be ready to buy on the day it launches a new wave of tickets and you're likely to get a good deal.

This Thursday (6 Oct 2016) tickets go on sale for travel from 26 Mar 2017 to 25 Jun 2017, including flights over Easter and May half-term. There's no one release time – tickets are likely to go on sale in batches throughout the day, though previously many tickets have gone on sale very early.

Of course, Easyjet may break previous convention and Thursday's price may not be cheapest. Yet in the past booking on seat-release day has worked well. Use common sense when you see the price though, and always do a flight comparison to see if other airlines can beat it.

Always good to have information, especially if need seats on certain dates,but remember the first release of seats isn't necessarily going to be the cheapest. A small degree of flexibility with travel dates in a sale week can save a massive percentage of the release price. This is when they use price to fill seats on particular days which they're struggling to sell.

Anyone able to find anything post 25th March yet ? The site shows the dates but when searching nothing comes back.

Nothing yet

Fare Watch Update: Been checking every minute since midnight. Now 5:36am and still nothing. Time for coffee number12

No nothing yet, been checking all night?

how can i tell when specific routes start for the year. would like to fly edi to nice but that route stops in nov and i dont know when it restarts. wouldnt want to miss tickets for other routes refreshing a route that doesnt exist

Majorca ones are up if anyone is interested.

Last time round the tickets went on sale at 7am but it does vary. I checked just before 6am and just after. Will try again after 7.

flights are now out

I'm booked for Rome 30th may returning 2nd June.

I've booked - more expensive then i was hoping though.

Must have been the first to book as the return flight wasnt available when i initially searched but was on refresh. For the last few years I've got good deals for easter weekend by booking early but looks like they'd marked it up already as dates either side we considerably cheaper.

Ooof. Glasgow to Alicante is pricey. Looks like a caravan in Skegness for me next summer.​

How are you booking? I tried Rome and LPA on their mobile website and it's saying flights are only available for booking until 25 Mar 2017.

malta not out yet

website goingmad atm. sometimes showing flights sometimes not. nothing v cheap though from what i can see.

Ditto Reg. Think their server has gone into meltdown. Good luck folks but I think Easyjet peak time flight bargains may be a thing of the past.

Damn I have a voucher to use but you have to do it by phone and their damn lines don't open til 8am grrrrr.

Strange, no speed issues for me. Websites running like a dream.

Cheeky gits, Lanzarote was not cheap family of four 550.
Thought for a few minutes, looked again and now 600.

Tenerife return is 200 for Easter hols - WTF - thats almost a return ticket to the states !! What am I missing

I looked on the app and flights were still unavailable but online via the website they were available.
Strange.

With different dates I get a return of 100 pp for Tenerife - is that a reasonable price to pay?

cheaper on ryaniar! load of rubbish, prices are changing like the wind!

paid £350 for a family of 4 to fly to nice from edinburgh over easter. Was hoping for £250. made an 8 day booking instead of 7 to drop the cost by £50. still worthwhile for us as , now the kids are at school we simply cant afford the accomodation costs in the summer holidays which treble. we'll be taking our overseas holidays in easter and october for the forseeable future i think.

taked the micky how the airlines hump up the prices around school holiday time!

Well I'm on the phone trying to use this voucher, got the two flights I want in my basket online just over £150 ready to enter payment details, agent is trying to tell me they are £280! All because Easyjet won't let you use vouchers online, grrrrr.

When using a voucher on the phone, they should honour the online price as you cannot use the voucher online. If the agent won't, ask to speak to a manager.

you can quote this page: https://www.easyjet.com/en/terms-and-conditions/fees
and
"easyJet is a digital airline. Our Customer Services Team is there to help customers who are unable to manage their bookings online or are in need of special assistance. Where it's possible to make changes to your booking online we will apply an additional fixed charge on top of the charges below if you ask our Customer Service team to do it for you."

Yep, they have done this now, but charged me £14 extra for making a booking 'by phone' even though I can't book any other way. The only reason I've got a voucher is because they changed some previous flight dates/times so they had to refund me for a previous flight.

Either way I've got Santorini in May BH week so ideal for some island hopping.

stressful morning. i knew the flight prices went up with demand but didnt realise all the other costs did. even the seat booking charge increased from 3.99 to 4.05 while i was trying to place my order. lost 16 quid based on the price when i first tried to book as opposed to the ultimate price when it finally allowed me to check out.

Final price of just over 800quid for a family of 4 to Malta.Paying more than the last 2 years, hmmm...

Same happened with us. Wife was booking it and waited to ask if we'd want hold luggage for 4 days away in Madeira. In the 10 minutes she waited, price went up £18. Arghhhhhhh..... But still happy (Edi to Funchal for £148 for 2).

The CS rep on the phone messed up the name for my daugher - firstname/surname interchanged - if I try changing online it asks for 30 quid for the change. Not sure if they are strict about the firstname/surname thing - if they are then I guess I have to call them again and see if they sort it out?

A BIG THANK YOU to offer poster rachel and grommit, i have got the whole family to Greece £250 return, i wouldn't miss the Greek Easter celebrations given the chance at this price, its as good as our Christmas....!!
THANK YOU X

No problem.

They are releasing seats throughout the day so worth keep checking online.

oh rachel and grommit if you fancy the Barcelona Marathon (highly recommended well organised) 12TH March currently £80 return via EasyJet

Struggled..doesn't like the discount code :disappointed:

I've avoided using Easyjet for my family holiday next May after a bad experience this time last year! In the rush to buy flights on release day I ended paying quite a lot (more than I wanted) but I could see the prices were going up and up as I was mulling it over. When I checked the same flights the following day they'd dropped by £400! I called to query this and they explained that the prices go up as people "look" at flights, even if people subsequently don't buy them. They gave me a voucher for the difference, but I'd already bought my annual flights so couldn't make use of them myself, and struggled to even give them away to friends/family as people didn't want the hassle of having to phone up! If you've booked today, it may be worth checking prices over the coming days in case they drop.

The easyJet tickets get released over the phone a week before online. No extra fee for booking over the phone as one is unable to book the same ticket online.

Promo code working, not accepted for me?

One disadvantage could be that their price promise will not be valid for bookings made over the phone

What promo code? CF6SPROMO? This is only for buying easyjet plus, which is a membership program.

​I heard from friends that they got very very cheap tickets last week when booking over the phone cause nobody else had booked (besides other guys doing it over the phone) so I guess it won't be an issue.

Luton to Lanzarote for June 2017 does not seem to be released yet - does anyone know when they will be ?
thanks

Ahh my mistake ..thanks for clarifying the promo code was for easy jet plus.....still a cheeky week booked in June booked...manchester to Marrakech for £90 return for us both for a week cycling up in Atlas Mountains....happy with that :smiley:))

Yes but they charge for making a booking over the phone. For 2 flights I got charged £14 even though by phone was the only way of making a booking as it was an Easyjet voucher.

​Never been charged for a booking over the phone that couldn't be done online. For some reason they're more likely to charge a telephone fee for vouchers but once I explain them that it can't be done online they take off the telephone charge.

I got my flights first thing this morning from Manchester to Palma over Easter holidays (1 week) £155 for 2 adults and 2 children aged 7 and 11, bargain in my eyes....Thank you!!

Cheers for heads up OP. Nice wee holiday booked for Easter 2017!

The flights I booked this morning for £358 are now £613!!

The ones I booked for 330 this morning is now 920 - its insane - certainly can't go up by that much !

last year the price increased by £100 on the day so i knew they would go up but not by that much.

Felt like the seats were expensive this morning now thing i got a better deal!

Its the usual scourge of the school holidays when it comes to the prices - dates outside of the hols are still relatively cheap - but anything in the holidays are manic, and being parents to 2 kids who go to schools we are always at the mercy of these crooks who fleece us no end if we don't book months in advance.

yeah i booked good friday to easter Monday so knew the price would increase. Last year though the price of the same flights only doubled a few months after booking

yep mine doubled too from £250 THIS MORNING..... now...Final Price £549.62

Got ours to Paris for May half term and they have shot up.
Sadly I needed to book 15 seats and I had to do it in 2 bookings and think I pushed the price up but had little choice as phone lines would be jammed.

in everyone's eyes that's a bargain. enjoy!
