any ideas when the summer 2018 flights will be released ? are they normally 6 am also although the last batch seem to have been later again?

Wow wish airports up north had £67 return flights! Will keep an eye out for price drops as Canaries is probably where we're looking to go.

Monarch have flights for Feb / March :grin:

I got a flight for March cheaper with Monarch ( £53 return ) Gatwick to Minorca ( I know it won't be hot )

Might be worth checking all prices on Skyscanner first?

Fuerteventura is showing as £67 return from Gatwick in March on Easyjet which is a better price than everywhere else and would have been less yesterday but I fancied something closer and a change from the Canaries for me but for Fuerteventura I would grab it now before the prices go up!!!

I might do the Canaries again the following year around Feb / March :sunglasses:

Thanks for your response, it was very useful

Personally i'd go for Lanzarote if you are thinking about the months of Jan-March. Neither can you guarantee the sun but it will be warmer in Lanzarote that time of year. I've been to the canaries many times during Jan-March and most of the time the weather has been sunny and around 20-26c which is much warmer than here or Majorca. As far as activities go it depends on his age. Mine are 5 and 9 and are quite happy with the kids club at the resort, the pool and the beach. If your child is young and you're flying from Southend which arrives in Lanzarote around 6pm maybe think about staying in Puerto Del Carmen or Matagorda as it's only 5 mins in a taxi and around 15 euro's.

After hours of sleep deprivation (including drifting off until I headbutted the laptop), decided that the Ryanair flights ALC to BFS are better (1 day earlier than I wanted, but slightly cheaper & late evening, compared to late morning which would likely mean a 7:30am pick up, so better travel times). :disappointed:

Not sure where to go, looking to book Lanzarote or Majorca but not sure as I want somewhere with activities for my son. He also attens school in Southend. Any ideas, please

Was around 7.30am they were released...later again :-(

Should have said that Norweign are normally bookable for 12months ahead

All booked at 7.20 this morning. Flight to Lanza for 1 adult and 2 kids from Southend half term (12th-19th as kids half teacher training day on the 19th) @ £171. You really have to keep trying from 7am onwards with the App and pc with any release date. Although my PC was saying not available when I booked the App let me proceed. Also booked a flight to Montengro last October for this June. Was on there 1st thing and booked flights at £280 for 4 people. Same flights now are £1,200. Another tip is to look at Norweign Air as their flights are released on a month by month (sometimes fortnightly) basis. Hope this helps.

Bigunspaul when for please? I get over £100 each way from

Anyone know when other airlines will be releasing their February - March flights? Easyjet pickings are fairly slim.

Luton to Lisbon for 7 people ...300 ...happy now lol

just booked manchester to sicily for 6 <£250 :-) feb half term hols

Agree Ryanair is the king of the budget airlines. Any criticism can be slapped down with fact.
Very professional, very fair, can't say a bad word about them really.

Bristol

What airport you flying from? Nothing showing from Manchester yet :disappointed:

Just managed to book flights to the canaries.

£24 to fly out and £14 to fly back :grin:

Prices for dates I want are rubbish.
Ryanair show cheaper!

Finally booked my flights!

Have these gone live yet? Struggling to find anything at all really from Manchester in February.

so i kept refreshing and refreshing. managed to get STN - SOF for family of 5 for £1100. Might sound alot but its going to be our first family skiing holiday. Thanks for the heads up OP :-)

anywhere slightly warm really lol

Canary islands

where are you looking to go?

i cant seem to get anything past february 3rd

The flights came up for me but when I went to check out and error occurred and now the flights have disappeared again.

No flights from London yet from what I can see

Nope. First I stay u till midnight just incase and then up at 5.30 and still nothing. and I don't even have work lol

Not much within half term for northerns

anyone having any joy?

flights to Sofia have come up on my dates but they're silly money!

Good idea, I'm gonna make me a brew or 2. :-)

I'm on PC and App. No sign of flights past 23 March. Can you screenshot the section your seeing these?

ha. Charles Barkley falling asleep. What a gif. Well I've just drank a coffee/tea chaser to see me through this.

I used my PC rather than the app, scroll through ...

​snap

Still nothing

lucky you! congrats :-) I've still got nothing :-(

6.20am. Still zilch :-(

Just booked for majorca from manchester, 24 march 18, 2 adults, 3 kids and 1 suitcase, £145 !!!!!!!

SNAP! :disappointed:

Starting to look like they won't go on sale till 7 or 8 !!

I've been on since 5am and I've not seen any avail yet. Think it may start shortly after 6am.

its just gone 6am and i cant find anything for half term feb next year (10/2-17/2) - first time ive tried this. Does that mean they've sold out?

I will take either so long as they suite my flying times, I don't care who is the cheapest, I want convenience.

No longer true - ryanair has changed a lot - now relatively friendly & EasyJet are becoming nasty (removing free earlier flight home with no notice, etc.) - frankly I would take ryanair at the same price every time.

Easyjet>Ryanair!

Better seats, company actually seems to care for the customers more, the ryanair boss seems to actively spit in your face!

It has been as early as 3am - 4am, but of recent it has got later. 6am sounds about right (think I booked about 6:45 last time - having set alarm for 3am & checked until couldn't stay awake past 5am, I lost out :().

I think the latest you can book from this release schedule is 24th March 2018.

Do you know if I can book for April 2018 or the latest I can book?

Will try to remember this but do not like easyjet and ryanair but if the price is so low will have to consider it.

no but my old tired worn out fujutsu laptop keyboard is!

Are you rationing letters ?

Where is hottest place in feb that easyjet fly to?

Athens x2, Alexander The Great Greece (Pella to Thessaloniki), Rome, Moscow, Barcelona (The best after London) Moscow was only £80 return via BA, but visa a word of hassle and £100, Barcelona under £100 return with accommodation on the finish straight only £16 all as a lone traveler...go for it...all started with park run at fat and fifty! link here

Hope it's better than the Christmas prices, that early rise was a waste of time.

ryanair>easyjet

Nosey! :wink:

do they release dates for October 2017

Which marathons

sorry bud not in the know, I'm just someone that keeps an ear to the ground as i like to get cheap flights to our Greek house or weekends away for european marathons..though someone else will reply shortly I'm sure!

usually mid October

when do they release for summer hols 2018

We missed these last year but managed to get the Vueling 4.99 Euro tickets to Alicante. Worth having a look if EJ get expensive. The leg room is a bit tight and check to see if the flights are direct or go via Barcelona.

many thanks..great deal

That's great, thanks for the heads up :smile:

set your clock... well worth getting up early...

Usually from 6am

Great stuff thank you!! When the flights were released last November for the Easter holidays just gone we booked them as soon as they came out and it cost us £155 for the 4 of us to Palma from Manchester ....happy days :-)

Are they on sale on Thursday
midnight?

Easy Jet release their next flight prices this Thursday covering Feb 2018 half term, be a sharp canny earlier booker for the best priced deals. good luck..
