Possibility of a bargain. Flights that are released on Wednesday are for travel the 25th March - the 24th of June 2018 so covering Easter, not sure what time on Wednesday. Summer flights not out yet, expected to be released by the end of September though. Confirmed on their Facebook page.

Haven't used easyJet before, so need help - if I book 2adults and two children - would the seats be together or are they going to be all scattered? I remember seeing they want extra to choose seats but isn't sure if this means extra to have all 4 seats together or to choose specific seats. Thanks

Haha, Don't expect reserved seats! :-) you get to the plane and its a sprint to get a seat(s) as none are reserved. Good luck!

Don't be silly , you can check in and reserve seats 30 days before flight for free , never had a problem when travelling with the kids

haha, fair enough... It's been a while since I've flown EasyJet. I used to fly monthly Bristol to Edinburgh and I guess it was about 5 years ago!! Can you now turn left after boarding these days aswell!! :-)

Don't talk rubbish they introduced allocated seating for everyone about 5 years ago.
@urinthematrix ive travelled several times with easyjet and the kids and have never paid for allocated seats. We check in online 30 days before departure including ur return flights and they always have the kids seated with us. Families with under 5s usually are asked to line up first and board after priority seating. Cheers op, heat added :thumbsup:

If you book them all at once they will be together.

Easyjet does provide seats together. Edit as just realised it was Ryanair flight who made us sit apart.

I fly easyJet quite often with my partner, we don't book seats but if you book at the same time we usually get seats next to each other but cant guarantee it. Ryanair is different, if you don't book seats they go out of their way to put you as far away as possible from each other, watchdog had a feature on this.

You pay a fee for allocated seats and parents flying with children have no other option as its mandatory, I think I've paid about £20 for my flights in Feb

Untrue. If you have young children then EasyJet allocate you seats together. You can pay to pick which row you're in if you prefer.

Hi sorry but wasn't the case for me and my family in April this year. I assumed we would be together (kids aged 4 and 2) but wasn't the case. We were unlucky but then after causing a fuss got moved to front row but that was lucky. I'd reserve every time with kids now.
KingCampo to helentiff
18 Sep 17#23
If you're 2 adults and 2 or more children then you may get split up. We've flown with EasyJet several times in recent years and have always had a whole row for our family split across an aisle (2 adults, 4 children). Never paid extra to book seats.
helentiff to KingCampo
6 Oct 17#65
We were all split across aisles, I.e nobody was physically next to each other but had the aisle between myself and my toddler. So again I say I'd reserve now with kids.
mrscasykes
18 Sep 17#10
We just checked in online 30 days before flying and all got seated together and there were 8 of us!
Theh don't split children and families tho although if you don't check in early you may have a parent and child in one row and the other parent and child further down the plane

And hope they don't do a Ryan air and cancel your flights. A mates teenage daughter and friend got stuck away this weekend. Ryan air cancelled their home bound flight and offered them a new one in 5 days time

EasyJet or Ryanair?
Holiday or no holiday?
Hmmm... got to feel sorry for those affected by Ryanair's current PR disaster. No doubt it will be EasyJet's gain.

Last twice they have released flights they have been extortionate. No longer a budget airline. Ive waited til the day the flights have become available then, when they wanted 1500 to fly a family of 4 i looked elsewhere and ended up booking same destinations/days cheaper through air france/air lingus.

Flights are normally released to the general public between 6am - 6.30am. Assuming the agencies get first choice earlier? Once upon a time, the whole months prices were the same at release, but now you'll find varying prices. I'll be having a look, but the easyJet price guarantee has changed and often prices drop or easyJet jump on the sales bandwagon. I'm flexible and I'm thinking of just waiting until next May and take my chance with either a late deal or a Thomson (or other) last minute flight. Others don't have the same flexibility and I wish them the best of luck getting the best, or decent price.

I am happy enough with £160 for 2 adults / 1 child and 2 bags to Belfast for Easter. £24.50 out, £19.50 back. Christmas is so expensive that we aren't going, which my Irish wife is not very happy about.

It started about 5.35. I was expected lower prices. Release day in spring was much better.

These prices dont look particularly good, surely its better to wait til theres a sale, or later on cos they have just used default pricing?

The prices for the flights I wanted were good first thing this morning. They've risen now. To be fair, my dates were never going to be horribly expensive - but saving @£20 a flight is still worth it. Every penny counts :smile:

Southend to Faro 23/5 - 3/6 +213% (£893 - £1906) since 6am Gatwick +152% (£837 - £1290) BTW this is for a family of 4 ! I certainly would not wait if you are flying peak time (i.e. school holidays). In fact if you have not booked you are too late tbh.

Prices have moved twice this morning causing me a bit of a mare, but I managed to secure them at a cost I was happy once I moved the dates around.
Easyjet will refund any price via voucher if they go down so better off booking it than leaving to chance. In my experience once booked they only gone down in total by £60 which I never bothered to claim hoping that they would drop more (which they didn't).

EasyJet are no longer doing the price refund vouchers unless you're a member of EasyJet plus or Flight club. Booked on or after 21 Feb 2017? Most now can't access the price promise refund.You're ONLY eligible if you're a member of – or join – Easyjet Plus or Flight Club. With Easyjet Plus, only individual members are covered by the price promise – with Flight Club, everyone on the booking is eligible. You can also do the trick if you book on or after 21 Feb 2017 and join Easyjet Plus or Flight Club AFTER booking your flight.

Totally missed the flights going live. Then booked return flights to malta next easter at 4pm for £250 less than I paid last year (when I stopped up all night and booked almost as soon as they went live).
