Easyjet flights

[brian viggers]

Hi, does anyone know when easyjet flights will be available for next summer? Need to get flights booked!

[MaisieK]

They should be released any day now,usually the smaller airports will
be released first, we are waiting for Stansted which is usually last, you will
have to keep looking each day.

No...Gatwick is always the last
They seem to start with the regionals, working down to London last....bastards!

If you register your email with EasyJet and tell them your preferred airport and routes, they will email you when the flights become available.

Mind you, having said that, I have been registered for a few years now, but somehow the email always reaches me a day or two after I read about it on the CVO forum

We are registered with Easyjet but we never seem to get an email when
the flights are released, we just keep looking every day

summer 2008 are now on sale from Belfast, Newcastle and Liverpool

[charliegill11]

well according to the web site news they are on sale but if you try to book it still comes on the screen that you cannot book after the end of March

[dodger]

it says they will be on sale today so I would say keep watching as as yet nothing so you would think they will be released in the next 1-4 hours.

Belfast flights released tonight

Anyone got any inside info about when the summer flights will be released?. CM you usually know, any ideas?

[dodger]

within the next 'few weeks'.......check the website it tells you in black and white.

[tricky]

I check the website daily and in frustration about a month ago rang them,
was put on hold for two minutes at a charge (I later realised) of 50p per minute, only to be told, that it would be 'any day'

Last year LGW was released the last week of November. All we can do is wait.........

Reality check.........

I decided that I wanted to change my return flight back to LGW next week.
Easyjet wanted to charge me more than the currently published RETURN flights (both ways) to do this.

When I pointed out to the girl that it would be far cheaper to just write off my existing flight and book a fresh flight, she said ...."I know"

There has a fair bit said within this thread about people not travelling Easyjet because of not wishing to mix with the great unwashed and the hoi-poloi.


Interesting piece in the business section this last Sunday about the budget airlines.
Apparantly for these airlines, especially to places like Faro, by far, the major passenger socio-economic group is middle class and professional, not the so called rowdy working classes, who in the main tend to travel on pre-booked holiday charters.

The suggestion being that Easyjet and Ryan-Air may be the ASDA of the airline world, compared to the M&S and Waitrose of BA, but the middle class passenger is more than prepared to rough it on budget airlines for 2 hours or so, to get to their villas and golf. Prefering instead to spend their money in resort, not in getting there.

I think I tend to agree with that analysis.

I'd say the majority are frequent flyers who don't need 6 pints of lager before they get on their 5am flight and can manage a 2 hour flight without going into a nicotine starvation induced frenzy From my experience, EJ travellers are far more tolerant regarding queues, seating arrangements etc. It's only the minority who have arrived late, forgotten their passport etc. who make a fuss when the gate has closed. OK, there's a bit of a scrum getting on and off the plane but that's mainly because everyone knows the ropes. Personally, I know that however slowly we take it, we are still going to beat our luggage to the carousel.
